2 women among 28 Palestinians detained in Israel raids in West Bank

The Israeli occupation army rounded up 28 more Palestinians in military raids in the occupied West Bank, according to prisoners’ affairs groups today.

Two women were among the detainees in the raids that targeted several towns and cities in the occupied territory, including Hebron, Ramallah, Tulkarm, Tubas and Nablus, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Society said in a joint statement.

An injured Palestinian who was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation army from his hospital bed in Nablus was also among those detained, the statement added.

“The raids were marked by abuse, threats against detainees and their families, and acts of vandalism and destruction on citizens’ homes,” it added.

The new arrests brought the number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli occupation army in the West Bank since October last year to over 11,900, including those who were released after being arrested, according to Palestinian figures.

The figures do not include those detained from the Gaza Strip, whose numbers are estimated to be in the thousands.
