Ramallah, Palestine - In January, Israeli occupation forces carried out approximately 580 arrests in the West Bank, with the highest number of arrests recorded in Jenin and its refugee camp, which have been under an unprecedented aggression for the past 21 days.
There were 17 cases of arrest among women overall in January, and 60 cases of arrest of children below 18 years of age. Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians have been detained during field interrogations.
It was announced (by occupation authorities) in January 2025 that four identified Palestinian political prisoners had been killed in the Israeli occupation’s custody. Two of them were from Gaza and had been martyred months prior to the occupation’s admittance.
By the start of the ceasefire on January 19, 2025, the number of cases of arrests in the West Bank since the start of the genocide, reached 14,500. This figure does not include the number of arrests from Gaza, which are estimated to be in the thousands.
*Figures include those who remain in the occupation’s custody and those who were later released.
