• Accompanying the ongoing arrest campaigns are escalating crimes and violations, including severe beatings and assaults, threats against detainees and their families, as well as widespread destruction and vandalism of citizens' homes, confiscation of vehicles, money, and gold jewelry. Additionally, there has been extensive destruction targeting infrastructure, particularly in the camps of Tulkarm and Jenin, the demolition of homes belonging to the families of prisoners, and the use of family members as hostages, alongside the use of detainees as human shields.
