The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society has said the 18 detainees include children and former prisoners, who had previously been released, Al Jazeera reports.

The detentions were carried out in Nablus, Ramallah, Tulkarem, Bethlehem and occupied East Jerusalem from Saturday night until Sunday morning.

This brings the number of Palestinians detained by Israeli forces since October 7 to about 8,775, the organisations said.
