At least 7,800 Palestinians are in Israeli prisons, the Association of Palestinian Prisoners announced today.
“Among the detainees are 33 women, 166 children and 2,873 people who have been held without trial or charge under Israel’s notorious policy of administrative detention,” the Palestinian NGO said in a statement.
Tensions are rising across the occupied West Bank amid fierce Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip that began after a cross-border Hamas attack on October 7.
“Israeli forces have detained 3,580 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7,” the statement said.
