The arrests were confirmed by the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) in a press statement, detailing detentions in the provinces of Qalqilya, Hebron, Ramallah, Jericho, and Jerusalem.

The raids were accompanied by assaults and threats against the detainees and their families, alongside extensive property damage and destruction in civilian homes, the group said in its statement.

The number of Palestinians detained by Israeli occupation authorities since October 7, 2023, now exceeds 9,535, according to the PPS statement.

These detentions include individuals taken from their homes, at military checkpoints, those who surrendered under pressure, and others detained as hostages.
