During 4 days, Israeli army detained 260 Palestinians from West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – The Israeli army detained 260 Palestinians from across the occupied West Bank in the past four days of the pause in its war against those living in Gaza.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society NGO said while the humanitarian pause agreement in Gaza includes the release of 150 Palestinians, the Israeli army had detained 260 Palestinians from the West Bank including occupied East Jerusalem in the past four days.
Amani Sarahneh from the Palestinian Prisoners Society told Anadolu that the Israeli arrest campaigns of Palestinian homes include sabotaging the contents of their homes and assaulting the detainees and their family members.
“Since Oct. 7, Israel has detained 3,260 Palestinians from the West Bank,” Amani added.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since fighting broke out Oct. 7 between Palestinian groups and Israel in Gaza.
A total of 237 Palestinians have since been killed by the Israeli forces in the West Bank, in addition to more than 2,950 injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
