Meanwhile, the Palestine Prisoner’s Society confirmed in a press release that Israeli authorities issued administrative detention orders against 38 Palestinians for periods ranging from two to six renewable months.

Israeli forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost on a daily basis across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.

These raids, which take place also in areas under the full control of the Palestinian Authority, are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.
