Israeli forces carried out a large-scale detention campaign across the occupied West Bank, arresting numerous Palestinians including a journalist and a teenager, according to Middle East Eye citing local media on Monday. More than 25 people were detained from the Aida refugee camp north of Bethlehem, while journalist Anas Ikhlavi was taken from his home in Idhna near Hebron. A 15-year-old boy, Yazan al-Aloul, was also arrested during a raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarm. Additional arrests occurred in Qalqilya, Ramallah, and Tubas.

Residents described the operations as extensive house searches and intimidation tactics. The report noted that Israeli forces regularly conduct night raids in the West Bank, detaining Palestinians during each operation. Since the Gaza war began in 2023, such raids and arrests have increased significantly.

Over the past two years, more than 21,000 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank, with around 9,250 currently held in Israeli prisons, including 350 children and about 50 women. Human rights groups allege that many detainees face physical and psychological abuse, including torture, starvation, denial of medical care, and solitary confinement.
