Israeli occupation forces have detained at least 15 Palestinians in the past 20 hours, including former detainees, according to a joint statement by the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Society.
The arrests occurred across various West Bank governorates, including Ramallah, Beit Lahm, Jenin, Nablus, Qalqilya, and al-Khalil, the statement reported.

During these operations, Israeli occupation forces carried out assaults and intimidated some of the detainees and their families, in addition to vandalizing and destroying homes.
One notable incident involved the repeated raids and harassment of the family of Resistance fighter Tareq Dawood, on "Israel's" wanted list, in Qalqilya. His house has been subjected to daily raids by the Israeli occupation forces, and his family members have been repeatedly detained and mistreated.

In al-Quds and the Qalandia refugee camp, located between Ramallah and al-Quds, the IOF detained three Palestinians, including two teenagers.
The sources indicated that Israeli occupation forces detained teenagers Ahmad al-Masri and Ayman al-Ajlouni while they were near Herod's Gate, one of the entrances to the Old City of al-Quds.

At the same time, a special Israeli military unit infiltrated the Qalandia refugee camp, north of the city, and detained a Palestinian citizen from a residential building near the Qalandia military checkpoint.
Since October 7, the number of Palestinians detained in the occupied West Bank has exceeded 8,855.
This total includes individuals detained from their homes and at military checkpoints and those who surrendered under duress and were taken hostage.
Moreover, these statistics include both those who remain in detention and those who have been subsequently released.
