The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) shows that the number of arrests in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of the genocide on Gaza on 7 October, 2023 reached more than 12,000 people which included all segments of Palestinian society, in addition to the arrest of dozens of Palestinian workers and thousands from Gaza.
The PCC explained that the arrest campaigns were accompanied by field executions, direct shooting before arrest, and/or threats to do so, in addition to severe beatings, field investigations that affected hundreds, use of police dogs, and the use of citizens as human shields and hostages.
“This is in addition to the widespread acts of vandalism that affected homes, the confiscation of belongings, cars, money, gold jewelry and electronic devices, in addition to the demolition and bombing of homes belonging to prisoners in the occupation’s prisons,” the Club added.
These arrest campaigns are made in the light of the total aggression launched by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people, as a retaliatory operation that falls within the framework of the crime of collective punishment, according to the Palestine Information Center.
The arrest operations constituted, and still constitute, the most prominent fixed and systematic policies used by the occupation to undermine any escalating resistance against it.
