The Israeli army says it arrested six men and confiscated weapons in cities across the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

Since the start of the confloict in Gaza, Israeli forces have conducted nearly daily raids and mass arrests in the Palestinian territory. There, the number of those arrested exceeds 7,350 people, according to the Addameer monitor in Ramallah.

While some Palestinians have been released, 9,100 remain captive. That’s a sharp uptick from the 5,200 that were in Israeli prisons before October 7.
