Ramallah: The Israeli occupation forces have detained at least 20 Palestinians from the West Bank since yesterday evening until Tuesday morning. The detainees include a journalist from Hebron, a woman from Ramallah, siblings, and former detainees. The arrests were distributed across the governorates of Hebron, Qalqilya, Ramallah, and Nablus.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the occupation forces have intensified their field investigation operations, particularly in the towns of Azzun and Beit Furik. These operations involved interrogating dozens of young men, accompanied by reports of abuse, threats, and acts of vandalism in citizens' homes.
These detention campaigns and field investigations are part of the systematic policies employed by the occupation forces. They serve as a tool of collective punishment, which is a central strategy for targeting citizens in the occupied territories.
