Israeli forces have arrested at least 15 Palestinians, including former prisoners, in the occupied West Bank during raids since Sunday night, Al Jazeera reports.

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said the detentions took place in Nablus, Qalqilya, Hebron, Bethlehem and Jerusalem, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.

The organisations emphasised that Israeli forces are primarily targeting former prisoners, as evidenced by their arrest of a man in Nablus, who had been released on July 30 after spending nine months in so-called administrative detention.
