RAMALLAH: Israeli occupation forces have detained at least 10 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including a girl, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.

The occupation forces carried out field investigations with about 60 citizens in the city of Halhul in the Hebron governorate, and the town of Qusra in the Nablus governorate. It is worth noting that field investigations have recently escalated significantly in all governorates, as they have affected hundreds of young men, the two organizations added in a joint statement.

The joint statement noted that Israeli forces continue to carry out extensive raids and assaults during these detentions, subjecting detainees and their families to harassment and threats. The statement also highlighted the prevalence of field interrogations and the destruction of Palestinian homes during these attacks.

Since the start of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people in October 2023, more
than 11,300 Palestinians have been detained from the West Bank, including Jerusalem, according to the report.

The organizations expressed grave concern over the deteriorating situation and called for international attention to the continued human rights violations occurring in the region.
