Injuries and arrests

In Al-Fawwar camp, south of Hebron, the occupation forces withdrew after storming areas in the governorate. Confrontations took place between the occupation soldiers and Palestinian youths, resulting in the injury of 5 Palestinians. The occupation forces also arrested 3 youths, raided and searched citizens’ homes, and forced women and children to sleep in the open.

Local sources said that the Israeli army stormed the city of Nablus and arrested two Palestinians, one of whom was a freed prisoner, after it wreaked havoc on his house.

In a related context, a joint statement issued by the Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club stated that the number of detainees in the West Bank reached 6,255 since the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.

The two institutions explained that this toll includes those who were arrested from homes, through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held hostage.

The arrests were distributed among the governorates of Tulkarm, Nablus, Salfit, Jenin, Ramallah, Jerusalem, Hebron, and Jericho.

The occupied West Bank is witnessing a wave of tension and field confrontations between Palestinians and the Israeli army, coinciding with a devastating war launched by Israel on the Gaza Strip, which left massive infrastructure destruction and tens of thousands of martyrs, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
