The occupation arrested dozens of Palestinians from the West Bank, including workers from the Gaza Strip (Anatolia Agency)
The Israeli occupation forces arrested dozens of Palestinians from different areas in the occupied West Bank, including workers from the Gaza Strip.
Security sources told the Palestinian News Agency that the occupation forces stormed the city of Nablus from several directions, raided the municipality stadium in the Rafidia area, and arrested dozens of Gaza workers there, after assaulting and beating some of them.
The occupation forces stormed the city of Nablus, reinforced with a number of military vehicles. Pictures broadcast by Palestinian platforms showed the storming process, as the occupation forces conducted patrols in a number of residential neighborhoods in the city.
Today, Monday, the number of detainees in the West Bank rose to 7,255 since October 7, after the Israeli army arrested 30 Palestinians on Sunday night.
This came in a joint statement between the Commission for Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club. The toll includes those who were arrested from homes and through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held hostage.
It is noteworthy that there is no accurate number of detainees from Gaza, while the Israeli occupation army recently announced that the number of detainees is 2,300, while estimates indicate that the number of detainees - based on the testimonies of those released - is much greater than that, and reaches several thousand.
Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip are subjected to grave violations, severe torture, and treatment that degrades human dignity, including nudity and sexual harassment.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor confirmed that Israeli practices against Palestinian detainees contradict international conventions and norms, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, which prohibits the transfer of prisoners from the occupied territories to detention centers in the occupied territories, and criminalizes forced disappearance, torture, and attacks on human dignity.
The Observatory said that Israeli forces continue to forcibly hide detainees and subject them to torture and brutal violence from the moment of arrest until the moment of release for some of them.
