AhlulBayt News Agency: The Israeli army detained at least 16 Palestinians in military raids in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) on Monday.
A woman and ex-prisoners were among the detainees in the raids that targeted al-Khalil, Jenin, and Ramallah, the PPS said.
The new arrests brought the number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli army in the West Bank since October last year to over 12,000, including those who were released after being arrested, according to Palestinian figures.
The figure does not include those arrested from the Gaza Strip whose numbers are estimated to be in the thousands.
“The raids were marked by abuse, threats against detainees and their families, and acts of vandalism and destruction on citizens’ homes,” it added.
Over the past few years, the Israeli military has conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which have escalated with the beginning of the war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers.
At least 807 Palestinians have since been killed and over 6,450 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.
