Alongside the aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have not stopped ramping up their arrest campaigns in the West Bank.
The IOF troops on Wednesday detained 28 more Palestinians in various areas of the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, including two women.
The arrests were mainly reported in Nablus, Ramallah, Qalqilya, Bethlehem, Jenin, and Occupied Jerusalem.
During the Israeli arrest campaigns, IOF also beat, abused Palestinians, and conducted field interrogations, in addition to damaging their homes and other properties.
The new arrests brought the total number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli forces since Oct. 7 to 6,420.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7.
These arrests amount to a blatant infringement on people’s fundamental rights, including their freedom and sense of security, as well as their right to be free from torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. The Israeli arrests also violate the right to personal freedom and the right to a fair trial, as detainees are held without legal evidence and valid judicial warrants.
Human rights organisations and the international community must put pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities to stop these violations and ensure respect for human rights.
