Despite Truce, Israeli forces arrest 442 Palestinians in October, including 33 children
(AL-JAZEERA) The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association have released figures showing that some 442 Palestinians, including 33 children were arrested by Israeli forces in October.
Rights groups and even the US State Department have accused Israel of frequently making arbitrary detentions of Palestinians, keeping people locked up for years in some cases without trials or charges.

As of April this year, an estimated 10,000 Palestinians were being held in Israeli jails.
Israeli drones are still actively operating across Gaza, in particular over the eastern part of the enclave – especially areas under Israeli control, beyond the yellow demarcation line.
On Sunday, one of the drones hit a group of civilians in the eastern part of Khan Younis, an area where families are returning, trying to return to assess the damage inflicted on their homes or collect wood for cooking from the destroyed areas.
Reports from other parts of Gaza, particularly from the eastern side of Gaza City, state Israeli heavy artillery has been pummelling residential homes.
According to the Israeli military, these are operations to eliminate any potential threats to Israeli forces stationed beyond the yellow line.
For now, Palestinians feel there is no sense of respite as the Israeli attacks continue to unfold under various pretexts.
Al Jazeera has verified two videos circulating on Palestinian media platforms showing Israeli forces demolishing and seizing Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.
In one clip, filmed in the town of Broqin, west of Salfit, Israeli machinery can be seen demolishing the home of prisoner Maher Zohair.
According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, troops raided the house accompanied by a military bulldozer before tearing it down, amid a heavy deployment of soldiers in the area.
The second video, filmed in Silwan south of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, shows Israeli authorities emptying the contents of a Palestinian home in preparation for seizing the property.
The footage shows a Palestinian woman being carried to hospital as soldiers remove furniture and personal belongings.
In the latest deadly attack in Gaza, Israeli forces hit a tent where a Palestinian had been sheltering in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis.
People living there said the location targeted was not within the yellow line that is demarcating territory under Israeli control.
Since the start of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have killed at least 241 Palestinians. Most have been accused of crossing the yellow line. That’s how Israeli forces have been attempting to justify why they killed these people.
Locals said the victim, whose body has been transferred to Nasser Hospital, was not living within the yellow line. They said there is no explanation why Israeli forces would have hit his tent.
Violations like this mean that Palestinians fear the war could resume at any second. There are drones still buzzing in the sky. We have been hearing endless explosions as Israeli forces continue to destroy areas beyond the yellow line.
Meanwhile, Gaza is receiving just one-third of the aid trucks agreed under the ceasefire that took effect nearly a month ago, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reports.
Only 4,453 trucks have entered the Strip since the ceasefire began, far short of the 15,600 expected by the end of last week, QNA quoted Ismail al-Thawabta, director of Gaza’s Government Media Office, as saying.
Daily deliveries average 171 trucks instead of the 600 stipulated in the humanitarian protocol, he said, adding that Israel is blocking more than 350 essential food items, including eggs, meat, fish and fresh vegetables while allowing nonessential goods at inflated prices.Israel has confirmed the identity of the remains handed over by Hamas, saying they belong to Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin, who was killed in 2014.
