Israeli forces detain over 25 Palestinians across the West Bank

Israeli forces detained over 25 Palestinians, including a child and former detainees, in raids across the West Bank in the last 24 hours, Wafa news agency is reporting, citing local sources.

The number of detentions of Palestinians since 7 October last year has topped 11,000, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) and Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.

In a joint statement, the advocacy groups also highlighted the enforced disappearances of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza, many of whom remain unaccounted for.

They added that these detention campaigns are often accompanied by extrajudicial killings, direct fire prior to arrests, severe physical abuse, destruction of homes and confiscation of property.
