Israel detained 10,000 in West Bank since October 7: Report

The Israeli Army has apprehended 26 people in their latest raids across the occupied West Bank, said the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society. This brings the total number of Israeli arrests in the occupied territories since the Gaza war broke out to about 10,000, said the group.

In a statement, the group announced Israel’s mass arrest campaign has been accompanied by:

  • Field executions
  • Shootings or the threat of shootings
  • Severe beatings
  • Field interrogations
  • Use of police dogs
  • Use of citizens as human shields
  • Confiscation of people’s belongings, vehicles, money, jewellery and electronic devices
  • Demolition of homes belonging to Palestinians in Israeli jails.

Over the past few years, the Israeli military has conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which have escalated with the beginning of the war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers.

At least 620 Palestinians have since been killed and nearly 5,400 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.

In a landmark opinion on July 19, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian land “illegal” and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
