Israeli forces arrested 27 Palestinians including a journalist during wide-ranging raids across cities and villages in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, according to the Hamas-affiliated Prisoners Media Office.
The arrests were concentrated in the northern West Bank districts of Nablus, Qalqilya, Salfit, and Jenin.
Since the start of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, at least 986 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
