Israeli forces on Thursday raided parts of the west bank and detained eight Palestinians from various parts of the occupied region, Wafa News Agency reported.
Israeli forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for "wanted" Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents
There are currently 4,700 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centers, including 190 children and 30 female prisoners, as per the latest figures from Addameer, Palestinian Prisoner Support, and Human Rights Association.
This number includes approximately 800 Palestinians placed under “administrative detention”, which allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.
The mass arrest of Palestinians is nothing new. According to a 2017 report by Addameer, over the past 50 years, more than 800,000, this figure is now believed to be closer to 1 million.
