Local Editor

"Israeli" forces detained 597 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and occupied east al-Quds in August, raising the number of Palestinians in Zionist prisons to more than 7,000, the Palestinian Prisoners Club said.

The NGO, which is based in Ramallah, said in a statement that the majority of the arrests took place in occupied east al-Quds and Hebron, which is situated in the south of the occupied West Bank.

Many were arrested during demonstrations in support of Palestinians in seized Gaza, which was the focus of a deadly 50-day aggression committed by the "Israeli" regime.

Additionally, since the June kidnapping and murder of three Zionist teenagers in the southern occupied West Bank, at least 2,000 Palestinians have been questioned and detained, according to the NGO.
