The number of confirmed arrests since the occupation announced the military campaign in the West Bank has reached more than 180 Palestinians. The Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Authority reported that Israeli occupation forces have arrested at least 30 Palestinians since Tuesday evening, including children and former prisoners. The situation of prisoners in occupation prisons remains dire, with ongoing retaliatory punishments and threats, as the prison administration engages in psychological and physical warfare against them under false pretenses.
Hamas has highlighted the alarming spread of infectious diseases among Palestinian prisoners as evidence of the disastrous conditions they endure in Israeli prisons. The group condemned the torture, medical neglect, and oppression faced by detainees, suggesting that the occupation government is pursuing a policy of deliberate killing. Furthermore, Palestinian prisoners' institutions have reported the ongoing use of enforced disappearance against detainees in the Gaza Strip, labeling it a crime against humanity.
Since the onset of the latest military campaign, the total number of confirmed arrests has surpassed 180 Palestinians, with the Prisoners Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Club confirming these figures. Arrests include children and former prisoners, coupled with field investigations, severe beatings, and vandalism of homes. The Commission noted that over 10,400 citizens have been arrested from the West Bank, including Jerusalem, since the beginning of what they describe as a war of extermination against the Palestinian people. Data regarding arrests in Gaza is incomplete, with estimates suggesting thousands are detained.
