BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

More than 9,700 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank since October 7, 2023, announced Palestinian institutions concerned with prisoners' affairs in a joint statement. 

The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission, the Palestinian Prisoners Society, and the Addameer Association for Human Rights released a detailed report on detentions across occupied Palestine. 

The organizations revealed that over 330 women from the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank, and occupied '48 Palestinian territories were arrested since October 7 last year. 

Another 675 children were arrested and detained in adult prisons, marking yet another grave violation of international law. 

Moreover, Israeli occupation forces detained 89 journalists, 51 of whom are held in prisons to this day.

Six of these journalists are female, while 16 have been abducted from the Gaza Strip. 

17 of the journalists are held under administrative detention, which is an arbitrary measure employed by Israeli authorities to indefinitely hold Palestinians in prisons without charges being pressed against them. 

Israeli authorities have also issued over 7,500 administrative detention orders, which include orders issued for the first time and renewed orders, involving both children and women. 

It is worth noting that the statistics point to the number of detentions made since October 7 and not the number of detainees currently being held in Israeli prisons.

1,400 'unlawful combatants' from Gaza held in Israeli detention camps

As for the number of Palestinians currently imprisoned in Israeli jails, the organizations said that the number is approximately 9,700. 

In detail, this includes 3,380 held in administrative detention, 82  female detainees in the Damon Prison, and at least 250 children held in different centers and prisons. 

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.

Detention, blackmail, torture, murder of Palestinians

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.

As a result of heinous torture methods and ill-treatment, 18 detainees have been martyred since October 7, 2023. The statistic only relates to those whose names have been released by occupation authorities and does not include potential deaths of Palestinian detainees in concentration camps, detention centers, and prisons. The occupation has also admitted to executing at least one detainee. 

The organizations also reported that the Israeli occupation holds 27 bodies of martyred detainees.
