IOF Detains 38 Palestinians in Extensive West Bank Operations

West Bank: The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at least 38 Palestinians during their raids on several areas in the West Bank, including West Al-Khalil, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, East Nablus, and Bethlehem.

According to Qatar News Agency, the arrests were carried out by raiding and searching homes, as the main entrances to several areas were closed. The arrests included 13 people from East Nablus, 12 from West Al-Khalil, six from Tulkarm, five from Qalqilya, in addition to two young men from Bethlehem. Military checkpoints were also set up at the entrances to the areas, which hindered the movement of citizens.

The arrests have escalated since the beginning of the genocide that the Israeli occupation has been committing against the Gaza Strip in October 2023.
