Over 18,500 arrested in West Bank since Israel’s war on Gaza began

Israeli forces detained 662 people during raids in the occupied West Bank last month, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society. The recent arrests included 39 minors and 12 women. Since the war on Gaza began in October 2023, more than 18,500 people have been arrested in the West Bank. This total includes over 1,500 minors and 570 women, but does not account for thousands believed to have been detained in Gaza.
