HeadlineOct 22, 2025

The Palestinian Prisoners Society says Israeli forces have detained 45 people, including a child, in raids since last night in the occupied West Bank. The group describes Israeli forces having vandalized homes and repeatedly assaulted detainees and their relatives. It comes as the U.N. Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is warning about an alarming rise in Israeli settler violence against Palestinians as the olive harvest season gets underway. So far in 2025, there were over 750 Israeli settler attacks, which is a 13% increase from last year.
