Zionist occupation forces detained at least 18 Palestinians from various parts of the occupied West Bank, according to statements from the Commission of the Detainees and the Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestine Prisoner’s Society (PPS).

The majority of the detainees were from the West Bank district of Bethlehem, with others coming from the districts of Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, and Jericho.

This comes in the wake of a large-scale offensive by Israeli military forces against Jenin city and its refugee camp, which lasted for two days and resulted in the deaths of 11 Palestinians. Several civilians, including women and children, were also detained during the offensive.

The prisoners' institutions reported that these military raids were marked by assaults on civilians, threats against detainees and their families, and the destruction and vandalism of Palestinian properties, alongside field investigations.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupation forces have detained over 8,840 Palestinians. This figure includes individuals detained from their homes, at checkpoints, those forced to surrender under pressure, and those held as hostages. (ILKHA)
