Israel detained 100 Palestinians over seven days as unrest persists across the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society said. Those arrested include children, journalists, and a former prisoner released under a recent hostage and detainee exchange agreement, Al Jazeera English reported. The organization did not disclose specific charges or arrest locations.
The detentions represent a significant increase in enforcement operations amid escalating confrontations in the territory. Palestinian officials have characterized the arrests as part of broader security sweeps targeting activists and civilians. The inclusion of a freed exchange detainee among those rearrested underscores ongoing tensions surrounding prisoner releases and subsequent security measures implemented by Israeli authorities.
