The Palestinian Prisoners' Club said in a statement that occupation forces arrested at least 30 Palestinians from several governorates, including freed prisoners and prominent figures in the Fatah movement.
In Salfit (northern West Bank), the occupation forces arrested the deputy secretary of Fatah in the city, Ahmed Abdel Karim Al-Deek, member of the Revolutionary Council, Jamal Hammad, and leader Bahjat Asi, along with three other citizens from the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan. They also raided the home of Fatah member Makram Amer in the village of Masha and ransacked its contents, while the detention of the movement's secretary in the Salfit region, Abdel Sattar Awad, continues for the eighth day.
In Jenin, the arrests included the mayor of Silat al-Dhahr, Abdul Fattah Abu Ali, and three residents of his town, in addition to two Palestinians from the town of Kafr Dan and another from Jaba.
In Tulkarm, four people from the village of Attil, including former prisoners, were arrested after their homes were raided and searched. Three Palestinians were also arrested in Ramallah, including two from the village of Kafr Ni'ma and a third from the town of Turmus Ayya.
Israeli occupation forces also arrested four other Palestinians from the Aida and Deheishe refugee camps in Bethlehem, in addition to two Palestinian citizens in Hebron, following raids on the towns of Idhna and Deir Samet.
In northwest Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Governorate announced that occupation forces continued their raids into towns in the area for the fourth day, carrying out a widespread arrest campaign targeting dozens of Palestinians whose identities are yet to be determined. The arrests included assaults, harassment, and the forced closure of businesses.
The governorate noted that forces tightened their controls at the "Tunnel" checkpoint, causing severe traffic congestion. Eyewitnesses reported that soldiers detained journalists and confiscated their equipment under the pretext of "preventing filming."
These arrests follow a shooting attack carried out by two young men from Qubeiba and Qatanna last Monday, which resulted in the deaths of six settlers and the injury of 30 others, three of whom were seriously injured, according to Hebrew media.

Demolition notice for a school in southern Hebron
In another context, Saeed Ibrahim, head of the Al-Zweidin village council in the Hebron Governorate, said in media statements that the Israeli occupation army had issued a demolition notice for the Al-Zweidin Modern Secondary School for Boys.
He explained that the residents of the 300-square-meter school, which houses seven classrooms for 120 students, were surprised this morning by a demolition order posted on its gate.
According to activist Osama Makhamreh, the notice came days after settler organizations incited attacks against the school, claiming it was built in a "nature reserve."
The school is located in Area C, which is under full Israeli control. The occupation authorities prohibit construction or reclamation without permits, which are rarely granted, according to UN reports.
According to the Palestinian Commission for Wall and Settlement Resistance, Israel carried out 57 demolitions in August, targeting 125 structures, including 39 homes, 52 agricultural facilities, and 20 sources of livelihood. It also distributed 21 demolition notices.
In parallel with the war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, killed at least 1,020 Palestinians, injured nearly 7,000 others, and arrested more than 19,000, according to Palestinian data.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving 64,718 Palestinians dead, 163,859 wounded, most of them children and women, hundreds of thousands displaced, and 411 Palestinians, including 142 children, facing famine.
