Israeli army detains 20 more Palestinians in occupied West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – The Israeli army has detained 20 more Palestinians in various areas of the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
According to a joint statement issued by the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Society, the new arrests brought the total number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli forces since October 7 to 6,305.
The latest arrests took place in the governorates of Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, Jericho, and East Jerusalem.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip on October 7.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 373 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since then, with over 4,300 others injured.
In the Gaza Strip, at least 26,257 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and 64,797 injured, according to Palestinian health authorities.
Under the controversial Israeli policy of administrative detention, Palestinians can be arrested and detained merely over suspicion — without warrant or access to a trial, for indefinite periods.
