RAMALLAH, January 28, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli forces launched wide-scale detention and field interrogation operations across the occupied West Bank from Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning, detaining at least 130 Palestinians, including two women, a child, and former prisoners.

The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) said that the arrests and on-site interrogations took place across most of the West Bank governorates, with a particular concentration in the towns of Burin and Madama in the Nablus governorate, the town of Aqaba in the Tubas governorate, and the town of Immatin in the Qalqilya governorate.

The PPS affirmed that the majority of those arrested were subjected to field interrogations before being released.

 It also said that Israeli forces have intensified arrest and field interrogation operations since the beginning of the year, in an unprecedented manner since the genocide, targeting all segments of Palestinian society as acts of collective punishment.

The PPS affirmed that Israeli forces have adopted a series of policies and committed crimes in the various areas it raids and arrests in the West Bank. The most prominent of these is the practice of field interrogations, which now constitutes the most prominent policy implemented by the occupation in all West Bank governorates without exception.

He emphasized that when the occupation army raids homes for the purpose of field interrogations, it forces families to leave their homes, terrorizes them, and carries out acts of vandalism and destruction inside the houses before arresting or detaining them, often in the cold weather.

The PPS reiterated that all current occupation crimes are an extension of the occupation's decades-long approach to targeting the Palestinian presence and imposing further tools of repression, control, and surveillance. The only change since the beginning of this war of extermination is the increased intensity of these crimes, whether those accompanying arrest operations or those committed against prisoners inside prisons and detention centers.

Israeli authorities are continuing to carry out arrest operations, which constitute the most prominent of the fixed and systematic policies that they implement daily against civilians, as the number of arrests in the West Bank after the war has reached more than (21) thousand arrests.
