NGO accuses Israel of intensifying wave of arrests in West Bank

Ramallah, Feb 23 (Prensa Latina) The Israeli Army has arrested more than 100 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since the start of Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims, the Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) warned on Monday.

The organization denounced the Israeli plan to increase detentions during Ramadan, which began Wednesday in several Muslim countries and Thursday in the rest.

It noted that those arrests were spread across most of the West Bank governorates, including Jerusalem.

It also warned of a series of crimes and violations that accompany such operations, including beatings, attacks on family members, destruction of homes, and confiscation of vehicles, money, and jewelry.

It affirmed that Israel is using the continued detentions as a cover to expand its colonialism in this territory.

The Club’s Director General, Amjad al-Najjar, also denounced this weekend the increase in arrests.
