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. 

240 detained Palestinian women

On March 10, the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners' Society released a report summarizing the mass detentions carried out by Israeli occupation forces since October 7. 

The report revealed that the total number of detained Palestinian women, including those detained in the 1948 occupied territories, has reached 240. 

It added that 500 Palestinian children have been also detained by the IOF.

'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.
