Israel arrest hundreds of Palestinians in West Bank in January, monitors say

Around 580 Palestinians were arrested by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in January, according to an Al Jazeera report.

Local groups tracking Israel’s detention of Palestinian prisoners said in a joint statement that the highest number of cases were recorded in Jenin and its refugee camp, which Israel has been besieging for 21 days.

At least 60 children were among those arrested, along with 17 women, the groups said.
