At least 30 Palestinians, including a child and former prisoners, have been arrested since last night amid continuing heavy raids by Israeli forces across the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) and the Prisoners’ Affairs Authority, Al Jazeera reports.

The joint statement published on Telegram said the arrests were conducted in Tulkarem, Tubas, Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, Qalqilya and East Jerusalem, and were accompanied by field interrogations of dozens of citizens in various towns and refugee camps.

It also said the intensifying Israeli attacks amount to “collective punishment” as part of systematic and entrenched policies.
