Israeli forces arrest 40 Palestinians across West Bank
Israeli forces have conducted raids across the occupied West Bank and arrested at least 40 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS).
Among those arrested were a child and former prisoners, the advocacy group added.
The raids took place in the governorates of Salfit, Jenin, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus, Tulkarem, and Hebron.
Since the genocidal war on Gaza began in October 2023, the group has counted more than 21,000 arrests.
Israel’s West Bank raids send message of control over Palestinian lives
Israeli raids have been intensifying since the war on Gaza started.
They did not subdue after the fragile ceasefire took effect in Gaza. On the contrary, people here will tell you that Israel wants to send a message to all Palestinians – wherever they are – that it has the upper hand and control over their lives.
Palestinians who are in Nablus in the north of the occupied West Bank seem to be under the impression that there is a new commander in one of the Israeli army divisions who wants to come and show force and remind Palestinians that they live under Israel’s army rule and that they should keep that in mind if they want to think about opposing or resisting Israel’s occupation.
In Jenin, many Palestinians have been detained in groups. We’ve been seeing a lot of these mass detentions across the occupied West Bank as a way to remind Palestinians that the Israeli army is still controlling each and every aspect of their lives.

Israeli troops search Red Crescent medics at entrance to West Bank’s Nur Shams camp
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has shared footage showing Israeli troops searching medics before they were allowed into Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
“This occurred while they were carrying out their humanitarian duty,” PRCS said on social media.
The Israeli military is moving to demolish 25 buildings in the refugee camp, east of Tulkarem.
More than 1,460 buildings have been demolished in Nur Shams and the nearby Tulkarem and Jenin refugee camps since the beginning of the year as part of a widescale Israeli military operation. Israel has forced about 32,000 Palestinians out of their homes across the three camps and prevented from returning in what Human Rights Watch recently said amounts to war crimes and a crime against humanity.
