According to Sarahneh, since October 3260, Israel has arrested <>,<> Palestinians in the West Bank.
She pointed out that detainees are interrogated by Israeli intelligence officers, some of whom are released hours or days later or transferred to administrative detention (without charge), or trial.
On a daily basis, the Israeli army carries out raids on villages and towns throughout the West Bank, accompanied by confrontations, arrests, shooting and tear gas canisters against Palestinians.
These confrontations escalated on the impact of a devastating war waged by the Israeli occupation army on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October, which left massive destruction in infrastructure and tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded civilians, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.
On November 24, Israel and Palestinian factions entered into a four-day humanitarian truce agreement in the Gaza Strip that ends on Monday, but is extendable.
The agreement included the exchange of 50 Israeli prisoners of women and children detained in the Gaza Strip in the first phase, in exchange for the release of a number of Palestinian women and children held in Israeli prisons.
