Sixteen Palestinians arrested in latest West Bank raids

Israeli forces have arrested 16 Palestinians throughout the occupied West Bank since last night, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society, which keeps a daily record of Israeli arrests.

Among those detained are a girl, a prominent journalist and several former prisoners, according to the group.

Those detained were taken from the governorates of Ramallah, Hebron, Nablus, Jericho and Jerusalem, the group said, noting that Israeli forces attacked and threatened detainees’ families during the arrests.

Since October 7, Israeli forces have made more than 10,400 arrests during near-daily raids throughout the West Bank, according to the Prisoner’s Society.

The agency reported that Ali was detained following a raid on his home in the village of Burham.


Son of prominent Palestinian prisoner among 5 killed in drone strike

The drone strike on a vehicle in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas killed five Palestinians and wounded four, including one who is in critical condition.

Among those killed is the son of Zakaria Zubeidi, a prominent Palestinian prisoner who fought in the 2002 Intifada and escaped from jail in 2021. The victim is considered to be the previous leader of Al-Aqsa Brigades in Jenin.

In the Far’a refugee camp, locals say the teenager killed by Israeli forces was first shot to the leg. Israeli forces then came closer to him and shot him again as he was not able to move.

This brings the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli army since the start of its military operation in the West Bank to 39.
