The Israeli occupation forces launched a series of raids, searches, and arrests in the occupied West Bank early Monday, encountering resistance from Palestinian fighters.

The raids are part of an ongoing campaign that includes the continued siege and incursion into the town of al-Mughayyir near Ramallah, now in its third consecutive day.

In northern al-Khalil, young Palestinians pelted an Israeli settlers' bus with stones near the Karmei Tzur settlement, causing damage to the vehicle.

Elsewhere, in Si'ir, Palestinian fighters confronted an Israeli raid, focusing their resistance in the central al-Ein area, where occupation forces fired live ammunition at civilians.

Similar confrontations erupted across other towns and villages in the West Bank. Israeli soldiers used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse protesters, who responded by hurling stones.

The Israeli siege on al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, has led to the suspension of school classes in the village due to the ongoing military presence and home raids. Local sources reported that occupation forces have turned several homes into military outposts after forcibly removing residents.

This coincided with the installation of military checkpoints by the occupation forces at the entrances to al-Khalil, located in the southern West Bank.

Israeli occupation forces further targeted Palestinians who got trapped in their vehicles at a military checkpoint set up at the western entrance to al-Khalil, resulting in several cases of suffocation.

Additionally, the Israeli occupation established military checkpoints at the northern entrances to al-Khalil, as well as at the entrances to the towns of Si'ir, Yatta, Dura, and Halhul, and at the entrances to the al-Fawwar and al-Arroub refugee camps.

Wave of arrests

The Palestinian Prisoners' Society confirmed that Israeli forces carried out widespread detentions during their incursions.

In the al-Arroub refugee camp near al-Khalil, four people were detained, including Huthaifa Youssef Jawabra and Mohammad Fathi Shahada.

In Baqat al-Hattab near Qalqilya, detainees included Samer Ali Samara, Tarek Samara, and injured youth Badr Abdullah.

In Jenin, Adam Mahmoud al-Sharif was detained from the village of Rummana.

In Beit Lahm, Mahdi Mohammad Al-Amour was taken from Teqoa.

In Si'ir, three young men were detained, including Abdullah Abu Eisha Al-Mattour, Mohammad Mustafa al-Shalalda, and Mohammad Diyab al-Tarwa.

Among those arrested in Qalqilya was photojournalist Imran Khudraj, whose home was raided early Monday.

On Sunday evening, two Palestinians—a child and a young man—were killed by Israeli forces in the town of Ya’bad, southwest of Jenin. This brings the number of Palestinians martyred in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, to 797.

Thousands upon thousands detained

Palestinian detainee organizations have released a detailed report exposing the alarming scale of detentions and rights abuses carried out by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank and occupied al-Quds since October 7, 2023.

Since the onset of the war on Gaza, more than 11,800 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank and al-Quds. Among them are 435 women, including some from Gaza and areas occupied in 1948, and 775 children.

Journalists have also been heavily targeted, with 136 detentions reported. Of these, 59 journalists remain in detention, including six women and 32 Palestinians from Gaza.

While these figures are shocking, they exclude data from Gaza itself, where Israeli authorities have withheld detailed information. Reports estimate that around 4,500 Palestinians have been detained in Gaza during the same period.

Mass arrests

A surge in administrative detention orders has accompanied these mass arrests, with over 10,000 issued since October 2023. Administrative detention, a controversial practice allowing individuals to be detained without charge or trial, has been applied to women and children, sparking widespread condemnation from human rights advocates.

Detention campaigns have reportedly been marked by severe violations, including physical abuse, humiliation, and threats directed at detainees and their families. In many cases, detainees' homes have been vandalized, valuables such as vehicles and money confiscated, and infrastructure in refugee camps, particularly in Jenin and Tulkarem, systematically destroyed.

There have also been accusations of field executions carried out by Israeli forces, adding to the brutality of these operations.
