The Israeli army arrested more than 20 Palestinians during a raid in the occupied West Bank, said the Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) in a statement on Thursday.

According to the statement by PPC, the detainees were from the governorates of Hebron, Bethlehem (south), Tulkarm, and Jenin (north). Eight detainees were from the Al-Ajouli family from Hebron, a Palestinian city in the southern West Bank.

There are currently 4,650 Palestinians held in jails in Israel. There are nearly 200 Palestinian children held by Israeli authorities in detention centres. Since the beginning of January 2022, a large number of deaths, injuries, and arrests of over 1,100 Palestinians by Israeli authorities have taken place. In March, 194 Palestinian children were detained by the Israeli authorities in detention centres. Israel also carried out air raids in the central Gaza Strip this year.

Earlier, many international organisations condemned Israel’s ongoing systematic aggression against Palestinians in the occupied territories.

In 2021, repetitive violence against Palestinian worshipers at the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem led to an 11-day war between Palestine and the Israeli authorities. At least 260 Palestinians, including 66 children, were killed in the war. Palestinians in Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank said that they suffered a lot because of the Israeli regime. In 2021, Israel’s offensive on Palestine claimed the lives of around 248 Palestinians in Gaza.

The conflict between the Israeli regime and Palestinians started in 1948 after the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Israel still occupies the West Bank. However, Palestinians want the occupied West Bank as part of their future independent state.

Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians were sponsored by the United States (US) for nine months. However, it stopped in 2014 because of the issues related to Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Palestine also held the Israeli government directly responsible for the Jewish settlers’ practices in the West Bank.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
