The Palestinian Prisoners Club stated that Israeli occupation forces arrested at least 15 citizens from the West Bank since yesterday evening until this Wednesday morning, including three women, in addition to a child and former prisoners.

It added in a joint statement with the Palestinian Authority for Prisoners and Released Prisoners Affairs, this Wednesday, that the arrests were distributed across the following governorates: Hebron, Jenin, Jericho, Bethlehem, and Salfit.

The occupation continues to carry out wide-scale incursions and abuse, accompanied by severe physical assaults and threats against the detainees and their families, in addition to acts of vandalism and destruction of citizens' homes.

It announced that the total number of arrests has exceeded 9,700 since the onset of the ongoing genocide, and this figure includes those arrested from their homes, at military checkpoints, those forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held as hostages.

It reiterated that the data related to the cases of arrest include those whom the occupation has kept detained and those who were later released.
