Israeli army arrests 40 Palestinians in occupied West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – The Israeli army on Thursday detained 40 Palestinians in separate areas of the occupied West Bank.
The non-profit Palestinian Prisoners Society said in a statement that the Israeli forces made the arrests during a “detention campaign” in Hebron, Tulkarm, Jenin, Qalqilya, Nablus, Jericho, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem.
According to the NGO, the Israeli army has arrested 120 Palestinians in the last three days.
Israeli forces frequently conduct raids on Palestinians’ homes in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, detaining people on various charges.
These arrests are made arbitrarily without a warrant and the detainees are provided with no access to justice.
