The Israeli army withdrew – at dawn on Thursday – from the city of Jenin and its camp after a military operation that lasted about 48 hours, resulting in 12 Palestinian martyrs, including 4 children, 12 wounded, and the destruction of infrastructure.
Massive arrests
At the same time, the occupation forces arrested – last night and this morning – 20 Palestinians, including children and former prisoners, in various parts of the West Bank, including the occupied Holy City.
The Prisoners’ Club and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Authority reported – in a statement – that the arrests were distributed among the governorates of Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Jenin, and occupied Jerusalem.
Thus, the number of detainees after October 7 increased to 8,875 Palestinians.
In conjunction with the war on Gaza, settlers escalated their attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank, and the Israeli army expanded its operations, which led in total to the death of 518 Palestinians, the injury of about 5,000 others, and the arrest of about 8,855 citizens, according to official Palestinian data.
The Israeli war, which has continued on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has left more than 116,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and about 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children and the elderly.
