Israeli forces detained more than 120 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank over the past two days, according to Samidoun, a Palestinian prisoners’ rights organisation. In a report published on July 27, 2026, the group said raids were most intense in Nablus, Tulkarem and Hebron.

Samidoun said the operations followed an attack by Israeli settlers on land belonging to a Palestinian family. Four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed in that attack, the report said. It described the subsequent large-scale arrests of Palestinians by Israeli forces as retaliatory action.

The organisation said soldiers searched civilians’ homes and damaged household belongings in the targeted areas. It also alleged that detainees were subjected to physical abuse during field interrogations. Armed Israeli settlers, under military protection, took part in some raids, according to Samidoun. The group called the arrests and operations part of a policy of punishment and retaliation against Palestinians, and urged the United Nations, the Red Cross and international human rights organisations to ensure urgent security and protection for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
