IDF Arrest Over Hundred Palestinians in West Bank Since Start of Ramadan
The group says the detentions begin on Feb. 18, when Ramadan starts in most areas of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Among those arrested are women and minors, it adds.
In its statement, the organization describes the arrests as being accompanied by “severe beating, organized acts of terrorism against detainees and their families, along with widespread sabotage and destruction of citizens' homes, and confiscation of vehicles, money, and gold jewelry," the group added.
According to Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations, more than 9,300 Palestinians are currently imprisoned by Israel. This total includes approximately 350 children. These groups allege that detainees endure harsh conditions such as torture, deprivation of food, and insufficient medical care, which they say result in dozens of deaths.
Reports indicate that Israeli military activity in the occupied West Bank intensifies following the launch of its war in Gaza on Oct. 8, 2023. Since then, at least 1,117 Palestinians are reported killed, while roughly 11,500 others sustain injuries in incidents involving Israeli forces and settlers described as illegal under international law.
