The Palestinian Authority’s Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs says Israeli forces have arrested at least 30 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem overnight, Al Jazeera reports.

“Among the detainees are a female journalist, two women, and former prisoners”, it said in a statement.

“The arrests and field investigations were concentrated in the city of Dura/Hebron, while the rest were distributed among the governorates of Nablus, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Tulkarem, and Salfit.”

The commission said that since Israel began its offensive on Gaza, more than 18,500 Palestinians have been arrested or detained in the occupied West Bank.
