Israeli forces arrest over two dozen Palestinians in West Bank in last two days

Israeli forces have made more than two dozen arrests in the occupied West Bank in the last two days.

At least 25 Palestinians were arrested, said the Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) advocacy group and the Palestinian Authority's Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs (CDA).

The arrests took place across most of the territory's provinces, and the detained include a female student, children, and former detainees, the two organisations said in a statement reported by The New Arab's Arabic edition Al-Araby Al-Jadeed on Sunday.

The groups said the arrests came following assaults against those arrested and their families, in addition to damage and destruction to people's homes.

Israeli forces have arrested more than 10,100 Palestinians from the West Bank and Jerusalem since the war on the Gaza Strip started in October, according to the PPC and CDA. 

The figures do not include detainees from Gaza, estimated to be in the thousands.

Israel's war on Gaza has so far killed at least 40,099 people, according to the coastal enclave's health ministry.

The arrests in the last two days come as Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that most residents in northern West Bank refugee camps agree they are now living in a "mini Gaza", referring to the restrictions in movement and regular attacks on civilians, land and property.

House demolitions and infrastructure damage take place almost daily in the West Bank, with deadly raids being more frequent since the start of the war on Gaza. 

"Today in the camps of the northern West Bank, we live in a war of existence, not a war of borders," said Montaser Abu Al-Hija, a Fatah leader in the Jenin refugee camp.

"This explains the brutal military operations the Israeli army undertakes in the camps almost daily."

Abu Al-Hija said 70 percent of infrastructure in Jenin camp is completely destroyed, with no sewage network or water or electricity supply.

There are 80 homes totally destroyed by Israeli forces and around 400 moderately or severely damaged, making living there dangerous, he said.

President Mahmoud Abbas belongs to Fatah, the most prominent faction in the Palestinian Authority.

Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 594 Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, between 7 October and 12 August, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
