The Palestine Center for Prisoners' Studies documented 500 arrests by occupation authorities during August across the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, according to Shehab Wire. The detainees included 31 minors and 11 women and girls. The center said the arrests reflect a continued policy of raids and detention operations by Israeli forces in the Palestinian territories throughout the month.
The arrests mark the latest wave in a pattern of mass detentions that the center has been monitoring. One detainee died in custody during August, the center reported, adding to documented cases of deaths occurring while prisoners remain in Israeli detention.
