The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) says that the Israeli occupation currently holds 9,300 Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons and detention centers. 

PPS explained that the Israeli occupation currently holds 250 child prisoners and 74 female prisoners. Although international law bans the incarceration of children, the Israeli occupation has drastically increased the number of children it holds in detention during the war on Gaza. 

The latest updated number by PPS excludes Palestinian detainees taken into custody by Israeli occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, according to the announcement made by the Israeli Prison Authority. 

The service said that it holds 899 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip under the pretext that they are "unlawful combatants".

Moreover, the occupation currently holds at least 3,400 Palestinians in administrative detention, which is a form of incarceration in which occupation forces detain Palestinians without charging them with supposed crimes. Administrative detention lasts for six months and is subject to indefinite extensions. It is also commonly employed as a scare tactic that aims to punish Palestinians for their political or national views.

PPS also said that around 600 detainees are either serving life sentences or the occupation authorities intend to issue sentences of life imprisonment against them.

More recently, Israeli occupation forces detained three Palestinians from al-Khader town, south of Beit Lahm on Sunday, security sources told the Palestinian New Agency WAFA.

As part of continuous raids of towns in the occupied West Bank, Israeli occupation forces, barged their way into the occupied southern West Bank town, rounding up three residents and ransacking a house and vandalizing it.
