The occupation arrests and interrogates at least 80 citizens from the West Bank

SadaNews - Israeli occupation forces have carried out extensive arrest and field interrogation operations since last night until this morning, arresting at least (80) citizens from the West Bank, including a woman and two children, as well as former prisoners.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club stated in a statement that the arrest and field interrogation operations were distributed across most of the West Bank governorates, with a focus on the town of Shyoukh in Hebron governorate and the town of Kafr Ra'i in Jenin governorate. It emphasized that the occupation continues to escalate its arrest and field interrogation operations at an increasing pace since the beginning of this year, in an unprecedented manner after the genocide, targeting all segments of Palestinian society, as part of collective retaliatory operations.

The club pointed out that the occupation has adopted a series of policies and crimes in various areas it invades to carry out arrest operations in the West Bank. Most notably, these policies include field interrogations, which today represent the most prominent policy implemented by the occupation in various governorates of the West Bank, without exception. According to information documented by the Prisoners Club, when the occupation army invades homes for the purpose of field interrogation, it forces families to leave the house, carries out acts of terror against them, and conducts destruction and devastation inside homes before the arrest or detention process later. It also forces detainees to strip off their clothes in extremely cold conditions.

The Prisoners Club reaffirmed that all current crimes of the occupation are an extension of the occupation's approach that has been ongoing for decades to target the Palestinian presence and impose more tools of repression, control, and surveillance. However, the only variable since the start of the genocide war has been the level of intensity of the crimes, whether those accompanying arrest operations or those against prisoners inside prisons and camps.

It is worth noting that the occupation authorities continue to implement arrest operations, which represent the most prominent fixed and systematic policies carried out daily against citizens, with the number of arrest cases in the West Bank after the genocide war reaching about (21 thousand) cases of arrest.
