The Palestinian Prisoners Club reviewed in a statement the total number of prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons "in the West Bank, including occupied al-Quds" since the Genocide on the Gaza Strip began. 

The club revealed that " the total number of arrest campaigns reached more than 9,800 detainees," of whom women constituted approximately 340 prisoners and the number of children arrested has reached at least 680. 

The club also reported that the number of journalists arrested after October 7th has reached 91 journalists, including 6 women. According to the statement, the occupation is keeping 53 journalists in detention, 17 of whom are under administrative detention. 

Additionally, no less than 18 prisoners have died in occupation prisons in addition to dozens of prisoners from Gaza "who were martyred in prisons and camps," without the occupation disclosing their identities or the circumstances surrounding their death, including dozens subjected to field executions.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club also stated that the occupation is holding the bodies of 16 prisoners announced to have been martyred since the war began. They are among 27 martyred prisoners whose bodies the occupation continues to hold.

The club indicated in its statement that "this data does not include the number of arrests from Gaza, noting that the occupation admitted that it arrested about 4,000 citizens from the Strip, hundreds of whom were released," in addition to the arrest of hundreds of Gaza workers in the West Bank.

Palestinian prisoners face abuse and starvation in Ramla prison

In early July, the General Director of the International Relations Association in the Palestinian Prisoners Society, Raed Amer, discussed the crimes and murders the Israeli occupation commits against Palestinian prisoners, the latest being the execution of five freed prisoners in the Netzarim Axis, in an exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen.

Amer affirmed that the detained Palestinians were "living through the worst phase in the prisoner movement's history while being subjected to forced starvation and torture daily." 

"Israel" has detained at least 9,580 Palestinians, not counting those abducted and arrested from the Gaza Strip, according to Amer, who added that 55 Palestinians were arrested from the West Bank on Sunday night. 

Shockingly, the humanitarian organizations revealed that at least 1,400 Palestinians have been abducted from the Gaza Strip and labeled "unlawful combatants" by the Israeli occupation. Recently, Israeli occupation authorities released dozens of Palestinians detained from Gaza, due to an overflow in Israeli prisons. Although accused of being combatants, most of the released detainees had no relation to Palestinian Resistance factions and were arbitrarily detained by Israeli occupation forces. 

Among the female detainees is Jihad Dar Nakhla, who is pregnant. The organizations added that there is no clear data on female detainees held in Israeli detention camps, as Israeli authorities have maintained utmost secrecy regarding the newly set-up camps.

These arrest campaigns launched by occupation forces all across occupied Palestine are accompanied by criminal violations against Palestinian citizens, including brutal physical assault, blackmailing Palestinians by threatening their families' well-being, widespread destruction and vandalism of the homes of detainees, and the theft of private property. 

Israeli authorities have also made it a point to extensively damage public infrastructure in the northern West Bank cities of Tulkarm and Jenin, as another form of collective punishment. 

Summary executions have also been recorded in the occupied West Bank, targeting not only potential detainees but their families as well.
