JENIN (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) reported that the Israeli occupation has arrested and detained 174 Palestinians from the Jenin and Tubas governorates in northern West Bank since the onset of the “Iron Wall” aggression on the two provinces.
The PPS said in a press release on Thursday that the number of detainees in Jenin and its refugee camp over the 17 days of aggression is no less than 120. In the Tubas governorate, the number of arrests has reached 54, mostly in the town of Tammoun.
It indicated that dozens of citizens in the two governorates have undergone field interrogations, with the majority of detainees subjected to severe beating and systematic abuse.
The occupation army continues its aggression on the governorates of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas for more than two weeks, resulting in 29 martyrs, dozens of injuries, arrests, house demolitions, and forced displacement, amid widespread destruction of property and infrastructure.
Since the beginning of the aggression, the occupation army has imposed arbitrary measures at its military checkpoints near most entrances and exits of the governorates in the West Bank, closing most of the gates of villages and towns in an attempt to ignite the situation, paving the way for creating a state of violent chaos to facilitate the annexation of the West Bank. This has manifested in the brutal attacks carried out by terrorist settler gangs against Palestinian citizens, their towns, properties, homes, lands, and sanctities.
