According to a joint statement from the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the detentions occurred in the provinces of Qalqilya, Bethlehem, Tulkarm, Ramallah, Hebron, and Tubas.

The statement emphasized that Israeli forces continue extensive raids and violent acts during these detention campaigns, which include severe beatings and threats directed at detainees and their families. There have also been reports of widespread destruction to the homes of those targeted.
