Israeli forces detained dozens of Palestinians during a raid-and-arrest campaign across the occupied West Bank on Monday, according to local media.
Among those arrested was journalist Enas Ikhlawi, who was taken from her home in the town of Idhna, west of Hebron.
A 15-year-old boy, Yazan al-Aloul, was also detained during raids in the Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarm.
In Bethlehem, Israeli forces arrested more than 25 Palestinians in the Aida refugee camp, north of the city, local sources reported. Residents described the raids as involving extensive house searches and intimidation tactics.

Israeli forces regularly conduct nightly raid-and-arrest operations in the West Bank, detaining dozens of individuals with each campaign.
The frequency of these raids and arrests has escalated since the onset of the genocidal war on Gaza in 2023.
In just over two years, Israeli forces have arrested more than 21,000 Palestinians from the West Bank.
Currently, around 9,250 Palestinians remain in Israeli detention, including 350 children and approximately 50 women.
Nearly half of all Palestinian detainees are held without charge or trial, under indefinitely renewable administrative detention orders.
Human rights groups say Israeli authorities deliberately target Palestinian prisoners in custody, subjecting them to physical and psychological abuse, including torture, starvation, denial of medical treatment, and solitary confinement.
A report by Israel’s Public Defender’s Office has also revealed that Palestinian prisoners are subjected to systematic violence by prison staff.
The report highlights severe hunger among detainees, manifesting in extreme weight loss and associated physical symptoms such as extreme weakness and fainting.
A total of 32 detainees, including a child, died in Israeli custody in 2025, bringing the number of prisoners killed since October 2023 to more than 100, a joint report by the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners Club and Addameer said.
