Since Friday night, the IOF has arrested at least 16 Palestinian civilians, including a woman diagnosed with cancer. 

A report by the Commission of Detainees Affairs revealed that the arrests were made across Ariha, Beit Lahm, al-Quds, Ramallah, al-Khalil, and Tulkarm provinces. 

The Israeli arrest campaign was accompanied by brutal assaults and threats to the detainees and their families. Israeli forces also vandalized their homes and confiscated their vehicles.

This increases the number of total arrests by "Israel" to a total of 4520, an exponential increase since October 7, and amid the war on Palestine. The total tally of detainees includes Palestinians who were arrested from their homes, on military checkpoints, hostages, and those who surrendered to threats made against their person or families and turned themselves in.

The occupation has been carrying out raids and incursions in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds, involving arrests that target dozens of Palestinians. It is also pursuing prisoners that had been released in the exchange deal negotiated by the Palestinian resistance with the occupation forces during the temporary truce weeks ago in Gaza.

'Israel's' prisons: 'Hell on earth'

Yesterday, the Commission reported that the Israeli occupation's repressive measures against Palestinian detainees in the al-Naqab prison have radically increased the harshness of life and made the prison a "hell on earth".

The Commission said in its statement, on Friday, that the occupation's prison administration completely cut off electricity to prisoners, and deliberately cut off water for the majority of the day, restricting its flow to 50 minutes per day.

It also indicated that the administration withdrew food supplies from the prison departments, reduced meals to two meals, and shut down the "cantina".

The Commission pointed out that al-Naqab's prison administration denied sick prisoners their transfer to medical clinics or civilian hospitals, and isolated some of them by sending them to solitary confinement cells. Moreover, it closed off the departments and isolated them from each other.
