Story summary
- The Palestinian Prisoner’s Club (PPC) reports more than 100 arrests in the West Bank since Ramadan began, including women, children, and former prisoners.
- The arrests coincide with an Israeli declaration to increase operations, justified by recent settler attacks.
- Most arrests occurred across West Bank governorates, including Jerusalem, and often result in deportations from Al-Aqsa Mosque.
- The PPC reports mistreatment during arrests, including beatings and home destruction, and says the actions form part of a broader strategy to suppress Palestinian presence and expand Israeli control, noting approximately 22,000 arrests since the onset of the current conflict.
