The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society say that about 500 people, including women and children, were interrogated by Israeli forces in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the city of Tulkarem, Al Jazeera reports.

“The occupation transferred about 150 Palestinians to one of its military barracks and arrested 20 others,” a statement by the two groups said.

Israeli forces carried out a massive raid on the refugee camp that lasted for two days, resulting in injuries and arrests among Palestinians, in addition to the bombing of homes and the destruction of streets, infrastructure and public facilities.

“The total number of arrests in the West Bank since October 7 reached 5,650, noting that the arrest cases include those whose detention the occupation maintained, and those who were later released,” the statement said.
