NGO: Israel has abducted 10,300 Palestinians in West Bank since October 7
A Palestinian prisoners’ rights group says Israeli forces have abducted 10,300 Palestinians in violent raids across the occupied West Bank since the regime’s onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip started last October.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said in a statement on Thursday that 355 women and at least 720 children have been detained during the mentioned period as well.
It confirmed that “the number of journalists arrested stands at 96, with 50 remaining in detention, including 17 journalists from Gaza.”
“Among those detained, 17 journalists are being held under administrative detention,” the PPS pointed out.
It also noted that “the number of administrative detention orders has gone beyond 8,322.”
Administrative detention is an Israeli military order allowing detention without charge, extending up to six months and renewable.
Palestinian detainees have continuously resorted to open-ended hunger strikes in an attempt to express outrage at their illegal detention.
Israel keeps Palestinian inmates under deplorable conditions without proper hygienic standards. Palestinian inmates have also been subject to systematic torture, harassment, and repression.
Human rights organizations say Israel continues to violate all rights and freedoms granted to prisoners by the Fourth Geneva Convention and international laws.
According to the Palestine Detainees Studies Center, around 60 percent of the Palestinian prisoners detained in Israeli jails suffer from chronic diseases, a number of whom died in detention or after being released due to the severity of their cases.
