Roughly 5,700 Palestinians are currently languishing in Israeli detention facilities
Israeli forces arrested 19 Palestinians in overnight raids carried out across the occupied West Bank, according to the Israeli army on Monday.
A military statement said the individuals had been held for “suspected involvement in popular hostile activities", without elaborating about the nature of those alleged activities.
The Israeli army carries out frequent arrest campaigns across the West Bank -- including occupied East Jerusalem -- on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians.
