Local groups tracking Israel’s detention of Palestinian prisoners said about 580 Palestinians were arrested by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in January, Al Jazeera reports.
The highest number of cases were recorded in Jenin and its refugee camp, which have been heavily besieged by the Israeli military for 21 days.
At least 60 children were among the arrested, along with 17 women, the groups said in a statement. Hundreds more people were subjected to field interrogations by Israeli soldiers.
