The Israeli army rounded up at least 15 more Palestinians in military raids in the occupied West Bank, according to a prisoners’ affairs group, Anadolu reports.

A journalist was among the detainees in the raids that targeted the cities of Hebron, Bethlehem, Tulkarem, and Tubas, the Palestinian Prisoner Society said in a statement.

“The raids were marked by widespread abuse, threats against detainees and their families and acts of vandalism and destruction on homes,” the statement said.

“The occupation is waging a war of revenge against the detainees, 40 of whom have been killed since Oct. 7,” Qadura Fares, head of the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs, told a press conference in Ramallah in the West Bank.
