Israel Detains 4,420 Palestinians in West Bank and East Jerusalem
The Palestinian Prisoners Association and the Palestine Prisoner Affairs Committee, both affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization, have released a joint statement regarding the recent detainment of Palestinians by Israeli forces. According to the statement, 16 more Palestinians have been detained in Nablus, Hebron, Tubas, Qalqilya, and Jerusalem. The statement also reported that the detained individuals and their relatives were subjected to beatings and threats, and their houses were destroyed.
The total number of Palestinians detained in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7 has now reached 4,420, including the latest detainees. Since the Israeli forces launched an attack on Gaza on October 7, there has been a noticeable increase in detentions and house raids against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The joint statement by the Palestinian Prisoners Association and the Palestine Prisoner Affairs Committee sheds light on the ongoing human rights violations and the plight of Palestinians in the region. The international community continues to monitor the situation and advocate for the rights and well-being of the Palestinian people.
