In the occupied West Bank, Israeli occupation forces detained at least 12 Palestinians across various cities, including al-Khalil, Jenin, and Ramallah. according to a joint statement by the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Society.

These detentions, as noted in the statement and reported by WAFA News Agency, have involved extensive raids and violent treatment of detainees, which include severe beatings and threats directed at both the detained individuals and their families, as well as property destruction in their homes.

Since the beginning of the ongoing Israeli assault on the Palestinian people in October 2023, the total number of Palestinians detained by Israeli forces in the West Bank has exceeded 11,400, including those from al-Quds, according to the statement.

Furthermore, reports suggest that the Israeli occupation continues to detain Palestinians in Gaza, especially in the northern areas, including women, children, and medical staff.

Human rights organizations have maintained that since the beginning of the Israeli genocide, they have struggled to accurately monitor the number of detentions in Gaza, which are estimated to be in the thousands.

'Israel' using 'war-like' tactics on Palestinians in West Bank: UN

Earlier in October, the United Nations Humanitarian Office (OCHA) accused "Israel" of using "war-like" tactics against Palestinians in the West Bank, citing killings committed by Israeli soldiers and attacks on Palestinian olive groves by settlers.

The OCHA reported 32 attacks by settlers this month, including the killing of a woman in Jenin. These attacks are impacting the livelihoods of Palestinians, particularly due to the destruction of their olive trees, a key source of income.

"It is, frankly, very concerning that it's not only attacks on people, but it's attacks on their olive groves as well," OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said at a Geneva press briefing. "The olive harvest is an economic lifeline for tens of thousands of Palestinian families in the West Bank," he added, adding that the competent UN agencies were looking to see how they could be of assistance.

The agency reported that since the start of the month, approximately 600 olive trees have been burned, vandalized, or stolen by settlers. A report included an image of a Palestinian man standing beside an olive tree stump with its branches cut off.
