IOF Arrests Children Among 18 Palestinians in West Bank

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at least 18 Palestinian civilians morning today, including children and freed captives, within an operation that started yesterday in the West Bank. In a joint statement, Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) said that the IOF carried out field interrogations for dozens of Palestinians in the village of Deir Abu Mashal in Ramallah, indicating that field interrogations have recently escalated drastically in all the governorates of the West Bank, affecting hundreds of young Palestinian civilians. The arrests were accompanied by attacks and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to widespread acts of vandalism and destruction of citizens' homes, the statement added. The IOF has arrested over 11,400 Palestinian civilians across the governorates of the West Bank (including Al-Quds), since the beginning of the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Gaza S trip. This number is only a speculation as the actual number of arrests is unknown, but it is certain that the IOF has arrested thousands of Palestinian civilians (including children, underage students, freed captives and Palestinian civilians in general). The policy of systematic arrests is one of the Israeli occupation's most prominent established policies, used by the occupation to undermine any kind of resistance against it.
