Reports on the raids in the West Bank are getting pushed on the sideline, some updates

Israeli forces arrested Palestinian at Al-Aqsa Mosque, raid West Bank towns

Israeli forces have arrested a Palestinian inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, the Wafa news agency is reporting.

Israeli forces have also raided towns across the occupied West Bank tonight, including:

  • The towns of Azzun and Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya. Israeli forces reportedly fired live bullets and stun grenades in Azzun but no injuries were reported, according to Wafa.
  • The town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, according to video footage from local journalists verified by Al Jazeera.

Israeli forces detain 40 Palestinians in occupied West Bank

According to the Commission for Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinians Prisoners Society, the detentions took place between yesterday evening and earlier this morning. Among the detainees are children and former prisoners, the organisations said in a joint statement.

Number of Palestinians detained by Israel rises to 9,312

According to HaMoked, an Israeli rights group, the Israel Prisoner Service released its latest data on incarcerated Palestinians, which shows that 40 percent of those detained are being held in “administrative detention” without trial.

The organisation said the number of Palestinians incarcerated has more than doubled since October 7 but administrative detentions “were on the rise long before that date”.

The data does not include labourers from the Gaza Strip and others who were in Israel lawfully with permits on the eve of October 7, following which, “Israel cancelled all permits and has held these people, reportedly numbering over 4,000 as of late October 2023, in Anatot and Ofer military camps,” HaMoked said.
