Israeli forces have detained 15 Palestinians — including a girl and two children — in the occupied West Bank, the Commission for Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society have said according to Al Jazeera.

The detentions took place in Tulkarem, Qalqiliya, Jenin, Tubas, Salfit, Jericho and occupied East Jerusalem overnight.

“This brings the number of Palestinians detained by Israeli forces since October 7 to 8,495,” the organisations said.

Sixteen detainees have died in Israeli prisons since that time, the organisations added.

The bodies of all but one are being withheld by Israeli authorities, preventing families from burying them.
