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

Israeli forces detained 662 people in raids across the occupied West Bank last month, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society has reported. The group said the arrests included 39 minors and 12 women.

According to its figures, more than 18,500 people have been arrested in the West Bank since Israel's war on Gaza began in October 2023, among them over 1,500 minors and 570 women. The tally does not account for the thousands believed to have been detained in Gaza.
