Over 7,500 Palestinians Detained in West Bank Since October 7th
Israeli Forces Detain 15 Palestinians in the West Bank, Bringing Total to 7,505
The Israeli army continues its detentions of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, with a recent joint statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Association and the Prisoners and Released Delegation providing updates on the situation.
According to the statement, Israeli soldiers have detained 15 Palestinians in cities such as Nablus, Tubas, Ramallah, and Hebron in the West Bank over the last 24 hours. This brings the total number of Palestinians currently detained by Israeli forces to 7,505.
While some of the detained individuals have been released, many others remain in Israeli custody. The ongoing detention and imprisonment of Palestinians in the West Bank has sparked concern among human rights organizations and advocates for Palestinian rights.
The surge in detentions, raids, and attacks against Palestinians began on October 7, 2023, following an Israeli army attack on the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian community in the occupied territories, particularly in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, continues to face constant threats and violations of their basic human rights.
As international attention focuses on the situation in the region, calls for an end to the Israeli military occupation and the release of Palestinian detainees have grown louder. The Israeli government’s actions in the West Bank and Gaza have drawn condemnation from various countries and organizations worldwide, with many expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle for justice and freedom.
