Israeli military detains 56 Palestinians in mass arrest campaign near Hebron

Israeli forces on Thursday detained 56 Palestinians in a mass arrest campaign in the Hebron governorate in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. 

The report said that the occupying forces rounded up dozens of people in a local stadium. 

Most of the detainees were reported to be from the town of Beit Ummar to the north of Hebron, where Israeli forces also raided numerous homes and destroyed residents’ property. 

Israeli forces have also positioned snipers on rooftops and imposed restrictions on movement in areas around Beit Ummar, where more than 150 Palestinians were arrested yesterday.
