Israeli forces have detained 3,390 Palestinians in raids across the occupied West Bank since Oct 7, including 260 during humanitarian pauses, local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) said.

According to the Anadolu Agency, the arrests were made during home raids and at military checkpoints and included those compelled to surrender under pressure and those taken as hostages.

Thirty arrests were recorded yesterday, the Palestinian Prisoners Society and the Commission of Detainees Affairs said in a joint statement.

Israeli forces carried out extensive acts of torture, brutal beatings and threats against detainees and their families, along with widespread acts of vandalism and destruction in Palestinian homes during the arrest campaigns, the NGOs said.
