Israeli forces have arrested around 200 teenagers in their 10-day crackdown on Palestinian protesters in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem), a Palestinian group says.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club, a group monitoring and following up on the cases of those arrested by the Tel Aviv regime, said Saturday that approximately 200 Palestinians aged between 14 and 20 have been arrested by Israeli forces over the past 10 days.

The group said a total number of 400 Palestinians have been detained since the October 1 outbreak of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces, with around 100 of them being arrested in the occupied East al-Quds.

More than 20 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began a harsh crackdown on the Palestinians enraged by the settler violence and a plan by Israelis to change the status quo of the al-Aqsa Mosque, a holy site revered by all Muslims around the world and highly respected by the Palestinians.

Israeli forces have also expanded their fatal attacks on the residents of Gaza, a besieged enclave on the Mediterranean. At least seven Palestinians were shot dead and around 150 others were injured after Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinian protesters in eastern Gaza on Friday. Two of those killed in Khan Yunis were teens.

International condemnations have poured in over Israel’s violent crackdown on the Palestinians, with some observers warning that Tel Aviv’s provocations could open the doors for a new Intifida, or a Palestinian uprising, against the regime.
