''The occupation means that every life, every daily transaction of every individual in the West Bank is impacted,” he also mentioned.
During the implementation of the humanitarian pause in the Gaza Strip on Friday morning, the Israeli army conducted raids and arrests in various cities and towns across the occupied West Bank.

According to the agreement, the release of hostages will occur in batches over the course of four days.
