Israeli forces detained at least seven Palestinians on Tuesday during raids across several areas of the occupied West Bank, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.

The raids targeted the city of Al-Bireh and the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, where Israeli forces searched several Palestinian homes. Four Palestinians from the village of Al-Mughayyir were detained during the operations.

Two other men were detained in the village of Siniriya, while another Palestinian was arrested in the town of Habla, south of Qalqilya.

Separately, Israeli forces raided the towns of Attil and Allar, north of Tulkarem, early Tuesday. Military vehicles moved through residential streets as troops entered and searched homes in Attil, damaging household belongings, according to local sources cited by Wafa.

Several Palestinians were also detained and taken to a residential building for questioning before being released. No arrests were reported in either town.

Israeli forces conduct near-daily arrest raids across the occupied West Bank, with incursions frequently involving home searches, assaults on residents and damage to household property.

According to Palestinian figures, around 9,350 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons, including approximately 350 children and 90 women.

Human rights organisations have reported that Palestinian detainees face torture, starvation and medical neglect in Israeli detention facilities, with these conditions linked to the deaths of dozens of prisoners.
