Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Prisoners’ Society organization claims that 50 Palestinian have been arrested by Israeli forces across the West Bank since last night, chiefly in the Ramallah area.
The organization says that most of the arrested Palestinians are people who had been previously jailed by Israel, including one woman.
The IDF does not immediately respond to a request for comment, including on what precipitated the relatively large wave of arrests.
Separately, the Palestinian Authority identifies the man killed by the IDF in the northern West Bank earlier today as Khitab Daraghmeh, 26, of the village of Luban a-Sharqiya near Nablus.

The IDF said troops shot and killed a Palestinian as he and others threw stones at them near the village. No troops were injured, according to the military.
WAFA, the PA’s official news agency, says another young man was taken to a hospital in stable condition after being wounded by the IDF gunfire.
