Israeli forces conduct large-scale arrest in West Bank
At least 50 Palestinians, including minors, women and previously released prisoners have been detained by Israeli forces in the past 24 hours in the occupied West Bank.
Sources told Al Jazeera the arrest campaign was concentrated in the town of Kobar, north of Ramallah, where at least 24 people were arrested. Approximately 16 of these were identified, including former prisoner Hanan Barghouti and other former prisoners.
The home of Nael Barghouti – the longest-serving Palestinian inmate in an Israeli prison, who was released in late February and deported to Egypt – was turned into military barracks and an interrogation center for dozens of Palestinians, they said.
Israeli forces also stormed the city of Adh Dhahiriya, south of Hebron, at dawn today, searching Palestinian homes and arresting ten Palestinians, including three members of the municipal council.
