The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) declared Tuesday that the number of female administrative detainees had risen to 17 after the Israeli occupation's arrests escalated in Ramallah and al-Bireh.

The administrative detainees arrested by the Israeli occupation forces include university students, journalists, rights activists, former prisoners, and the mothers and wives of other prisoners.

The Israeli occupation forces had earlier issued administrative detention orders for five Palestinian women: former prisoner Hanan al-Barghouti, former prisoner and journalist Bouchra Tawil, Mona Abu Hussein, Soumoud Mohammad, and Baraa Odeh.

The PPC underlined that this escalation comes amid an unprecedented hike in the number of administrative detainees behind bars in Israeli prisons, an uptick that kicked off in the wake of October 7, whereas 3,558 Palestinians are administrative detainees today, a number that is, according to available data, unparalleled.

The statement underlined that all female administrative detainees, as all prisoners, had been abused and assaulted at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces during their arrests.

The prisoners were also subjected to extremely harsh conditions during their detentions in the "Hasharon Prison" before they were transferred to "Damon Prison" where the majority of female prisoners were held under dire circumstances that preceded October 7, but in the wake of the Resistance's Operation, there was a notable uptick in violence, abuse, torture, and even starvation.

Many testimonies emerged from female Palestinian prisoners, including administrative detainees, who underlined that the Israeli occupation forces had abused them and assaulted them by various means, not to mention detaining them repeatedly over the past several years, including prisoner Khalida Jarrar and Bouchra Tawil.

Administrative detention is one of the most prominent systematic crimes that the occupation has historically used against Palestinians. It is one of the emergency regulations that the occupation inherited from the British Mandate, where a Palestinian is detained without a specific charge and under the pretext of having a classified case.

The number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons is over 9,100. the Palestinian Prisoners Club said, adding that this included at least 61 female prisoners, about 200 children, and more than 3,558 administrative detainees.

The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners' Society announced today that the Israeli occupation forces have detained, since yesterday, at least 25 Palestinians in the West Bank some of whom are ex-detainees.

They added that the detentions were mainly concentrated in Ramallah with others taking place in Qalqilya, Beit Lahm, al-Khalil, Salfit, and al-Quds. 

As part of the violent detention campaigns, the IOF continue to carry out widespread raids, abusing, assaulting, and threatening detained Palestinians and their families amid further vandalization and destruction of the latter's home and Palestinian infrastructure, they stressed. 

This brings the total number of detained Palestinians since October 7 to 7,530, including those detained from their homes, at military checkpoints, and others who had to surrender themselves under pressure or by being held hostage. 

'Israel' tortured 27 Gaza detainees to death in camps: Israeli media

Israeli occupation forces killed 27 Palestinian detainees from Gaza in military detention camps since October 7, the Israeli Haaretz newspaper reported on March 7. 

The harrowing revelation added to multiple confirmed reports published by Palestinian organizations that deal with the affairs of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, which have shed light on the maltreatment and brutalization of Palestinians. 

Haaretz said that the 27 Palestinians were tortured to death while being questioned by Israeli occupation forces in the "Sde Teman" and "Anatot" concentration camps, which also serve as military facilities for occupation forces.

At a previous time in January, Haaretz had reported that 661 Palestinians are being held in the "Sde Teman" concentration camp, which is about 30 km to the east of the Gaza Strip. The actual number of Palestinians held in these facilities is expected to have significantly risen since the last report, as Israeli authorities maintain near-complete secrecy on the issue.

According to Haaretz, Unit 504 of the IOF has taken responsibility for interrogating "prisoners of war" held in "Sde Teman". The infamous unit specializes in human intelligence and launches covert operations in and out of Palestine. In "Anatot", Israeli occupation forces appropriated the military site to hold Palestinian workers, who held Israeli-issued permits, on October 7. 

The newspaper also said that at least one of the detainees in the two camps was killed after occupation forces refused to give him access to life-saving diabetes medication.
