According to a report by the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS);

Since the start of the aggression against Jenin and its refugee camp on the morning of December 12, until today, the Israeli occupation abducted hundreds of Palestinian citizens, having released the majority of them.

The report stated that citizens underwent field investigations and harassment in the Salem military camp.

It stated that the commission was unable to accurately confirm the number of detainees in Jenin Governorate and its camp, and added that this arrest campaign is the highest since the years of the Al-Aqsa Intifada.

The report stated that “the total number of arrests after October 7 rose to more than (4,400), and this total includes those who were arrested from homes, through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, those who were held hostage, or those who were arrested and subjected to field investigation, knowing that recently, the occupation forces have been focusing on field investigation operations, where they arrest many citizens, with the aim of investigating them on the ground, and then release them later, after carrying out abuse and torture against them.”
