The Israeli military announced on Monday that it conducted operations in the West Bank, specifically targeting weapons production infrastructure in the Qabatiya area. Additionally, the military reported the arrest of an individual in Nablus, whom they identified as being affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group.

Separately, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) released data on Tuesday indicating that Israeli forces detained 630 Palestinians across the West Bank and Jerusalem throughout the month of July. According to the PPS, this figure contributes to a total of over 25,000 detention cases recorded since 2023, a group that includes women and children. The organization further alleged that these detention campaigns frequently involve violent home raids, field interrogations, and the destruction of personal property.

While the Israeli military frames its activities as necessary security measures to dismantle militant capabilities, the PPS characterizes the broader trend of detentions and military incursions as a campaign of systematic disruption and assault against the Palestinian population. The reports highlight the differing focuses of the two sides: one emphasizing tactical military objectives and the other focusing on the humanitarian and social impact of mass detentions on Palestinian residents.
