The Israeli occupation entity transferred 90 Palestinian prisoners to Section 4 of "Ramon" prison earlier today after they were subjected to brutal investigation for the past three days, sources told Al Mayadeen on Thursday.

The sources added that the prisoners from the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements were distributed among 15 rooms, all of which are considered unfit for human habitation.

On another note, the Palestinian Prisoners Information Office reported that Musab Adnan Al-Husari from Tulkarm had been released after 14 months of arbitrary administrative detention.

Likewise, the imprisoned student at Birzeit University, Osaid Abdel-Fattah Qaddumi, was released after 12 months of administrative detention.

The Palestinian Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs warned on Wednesday of a "real explosion" in Israeli occupation prisons and detention centers, as a result of the occupation's policy of indifference to the demands of administrative prisoners.

In a statement, the Commission indicated that the sharp increase in the number of new administrative prisoners is a clear indication that the political and military instructions give the so-called Israeli intelligence officers absolute freedom to master the collective punishment of these prisoners and their families.

It is noteworthy that the number of administrative prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons exceeds 1,200 -- the highest number since 2002. Data show that the number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons reached about 5,000 in 2023, including 160 children and 32 women.
