The two organizations underscored that the arrests were concentrated in the governorates of Beit Lahm and al-Khalil, while the rest of the arrests were distributed in the governorates of Nablus, Ramallah, Tulkarm, and Tubas, accompanied by widespread raids and violations throughout the cities, towns, and camps.
In more detail, the report explained that the IOF reportedly committed violations against people in the form of severe beatings and threats against detainees and their families, in parallel to the widespread sabotage and destruction of people’s homes, and the taking of Palestinian residents as human shields and hostages.
IOF detains liberated PFLP leader Khalida Jarrar
The Israeli occupation forces detained, at dawn on Tuesday, the prominent leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine from the West Bank, and liberated detainee, Khalida Jarrar, as well as journalist Hamad Taqatqa, from their homes amid a large-scale detention campaign.
The arrest came after IOF stormed the city of al-Bireh, adjacent to Ramallah, in the West Bank, raided Jarrar's house, and detained her, after searching for her house.
Jarrar is the most prominent leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the second-largest faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and was, in the past, elected as a member of the former Palestinian Legislative Council.
