RAMALLAH, March 2, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Monday detained three youths from al-Mughayyir village, northeast of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to local sources.

They said that the occupation forces rounded up three young men, including two brothers, from the village.

An Israeli army vehicle chased and rammed into another villager before the soldiers briefly held him.

Earlier, the gun-toting soldiers rounded up four Palestinians from the Hebron and Nablus governorates.

The occupation forces broke into Rujum I‘li and Khallet Amira, two of the communities making up Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, and two brothers.

The soldiers detained them after colonists attacked one of their relatives and inflicted bruises on his body.

The other two Palestinians were identified as residents of al-Lubban ash-Sharqiyya village, south of Nablus, al-Farisiya in the northern Jordan Valley.

In the predawn and morning hours, the occupation forces conducted multiple raids across the West Bank, detaining 44 Palestinians.

This brings the total number of Palestinians detained from the occupied West Bank on Monday to 51.

The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.

These raids are conducted without a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses, in keeping with its sweeping, arbitrary powers.

Under Israeli military law, army commanders have full executive, legislative, and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised.

According to the latest figures from Addameer, the Palestinian Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, there are currently 9,300 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centers, including 350 child prisoners and 56 female prisoners.

This number includes approximately 3,358 Palestinians placed under “administrative detention”, which allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.
