The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed today, Saturday, that the occupation killed at least 15 Palestinians in the West Bank during the past 9 days, while the number of detainees since the seventh of last October has risen to 9,325, amid continued incursions and attacks by Israeli forces.

UNRWA explained – via the X platform – that the Israeli army killed about 15 Palestinians during the ongoing raids in West Bank cities during the period between 10 and 19 June.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the number of martyrs in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, has reached 550 martyrs, including 135 children, since October 7, in addition to about 5,200 injured people.

Increase in the number of detainees

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club and the Commission for Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs announced that since yesterday evening, Friday, the occupation forces have arrested 25 Palestinians in the West Bank, including former prisoners.

The two authorities explained that the arrests focused on the governorates of Nablus, Tulkarm, Jenin (north), Ramallah (centre), and Hebron (south).

Thus, the number of detainees in the West Bank since October 7 has risen to 9,325, including those whom the occupation later released.

Incursions and clashes

This comes as the occupation forces continue to storm West Bank towns. Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that the occupation forces stormed the village of Kharsa, south of Hebron, closed shops and set up barriers after young men placed Palestinian flags next to objects resembling explosive devices on electricity poles in the village.

The Palestinian News Agency reported that Israeli forces stormed a number of towns north of Tulkarm Governorate.

The occupation forces stationed at the Jabara military checkpoint south of Tulkarm also fired sound bombs and poison gas at citizens and passing vehicles, according to the Palestinian News Agency.

Palestinian media reported that the sounds of clashes were heard in the Al-Jabriyat neighborhood in Jenin, amid rising columns of smoke after the occupation forces burned a vehicle after they stormed the city. The occupation forces also abused a wounded Palestinian youth during their arrest from the Al-Jabriyat neighborhood in the city of Jenin by tying him to the front of a military vehicle.

She added that the occupation forces closed the entrances to the city of Qalqilya after killing a settler and burning his car, while it is not yet known who killed him.

In conjunction with its devastating war on Gaza since October 7, the Israeli army expanded its incursions and operations into the West Bank.
