The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) reported Wednesday that Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out systematic arrest campaigns and field interrogations in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank’s southern part , with escalating brutality and scope.
According to a statement issued by PPS, the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, witnessed a massive invasion overnight, during which Israeli forces conducted mass field interrogations targeting approximately 200 residents, including families of slain Palestinians, as confirmed by eyewitnesses.
The interrogations were accompanied by severe physical abuse, widespread destruction of household belongings, theft of money and gold jewelry, confiscation of vehicles and electronic devices, and the conversion of homes into military outposts.
PPS also documented the use of civilians as human shields and the distribution of leaflets containing direct threats against residents.
The PPS described the level of violence inflicted by Israeli soldiers during abductions as “unprecedented,” targeting all segments of Palestinian society—including children, women, and the elderly.
It also emphasized that arbitrary detention remains a central tool in Israel’s open war against the Palestinian people.
Since October 7, 2025, Israeli forces have abducted and detained approximately 20,500 Palestinians from various parts of the West Bank, through coordinated campaigns of invasions, violations and widespread field interrogations.
