Israeli occupation forces have detained 12,100 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including the eastern part of occupied al-Quds, since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, confirmed the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) on Friday.

The PPS highlighted that the reported figures exclude Palestinians detained in Gaza, estimated to number in the thousands.

The rights group noted that the detainees include over 440 women and 795 children, with the majority of arrests occurring in the occupied al-Quds and al-Khalil governorates.

The occupation forces have also detained 141 journalists, 59 of whom remain imprisoned, including five women and 33 journalists from Gaza.

During this period, more than 10,000 administrative detention orders were issued. This controversial policy allows Israeli authorities to hold individuals without charge for up to six months with indefinite renewals.

According to the PPS, the ongoing detention campaigns have been marked by escalating abuse, including severe beatings, verbal and physical threats against detainees and their families, the destruction of citizens’ homes, and the seizing of personal belongings such as vehicles, cash, and jewelry.

The group also highlighted that Palestinian detainees have also been used as human shields by Israeli occupation forces, while their families were held as hostages for varying periods.

In addition to the detention campaigns, the PPS reported that occupation forces carried out field executions, including those targeting family members of detainees.

Elsewhere, the group noted that the Israeli occupation authorities continue to withhold the bodies of 47 Palestinian detainees who died in its prisons since the onset of the war on Gaza.
