Around 500 Palestinians interrogated in Nur Shams refugee camp

At least 500 people, including women and children, have been interrogated by Israeli forces in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the city of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian prisoner groups said on Friday. 

“The occupation transferred about 150 Palestinians to one of its military barracks and arrested 20 others,” a statement by the Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Society said.

Israeli forces carried out a massive raid on the refugee camp that lasted for two days. Dozens of people were wounded and homes were bombed. 

“The total number of arrests in the West Bank since October 7 reached 5,650, noting that the arrest cases include those whose detention the occupation maintained, and those who were later released,” the statement said.
