In addition to actions against villages the British Army also conducted punitive actions in the cities.

In Nablus in August 1938 almost 5, 000 men were held in a cage for two days and interrogated one after another.

During their detention the city was searched and then each of the detainees was marked with a rubber stamp on his release.

At one point a night curfew was imposed on most of the cities.
