Occupation forces arrest 40 Palestinians, including freed prisoners

Forty Palestinians, including freed prisoners, were arrested in a large-scale arrest campaign launched by the Israeli occupation forces in different parts in the occupied West Bank on Thursday.According to Palestinian news agency (WAFA), the occupation forces arrested eight Palestinians in Bethlehem, seven in occupied Jerusalem, and nine others, including a freed prisoner, in Tulkarm, after raiding and searching their houses.Ten more Palestinians were arrested in Hebron, in addition to six others, including two freed prisoners, in Qalqilya, Jericho and Tubas.Different parts of the occupied Jerusalem and West Bank are subjected to daily arrest campaigns and incursions by the Israeli occupation forces who often clash with the Palestinians and fire live and rubber bullets and poisonous gas bombs. The pace of the occupation's assaults increased in conjunction with the unprecedent brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, which left thousands martyred and injured, mostly children and women.
