At least 18 Palestinians were arrested overnight in the occupied West Bank, including two women from Jericho, Al Jazeera reports.

The media outlet also quoted the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs as saying the detentions also took place in Hebron, Qalqilya, Nablus, East Jerusalem and Ramallah.

The total number of arrests after October 7 is 7,020. Arrests are “one of the most prominent tools of collective punishment”, the groups said in a statement on Telegram.
