The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society issued a joint statement saying the new arrests have increased the total number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli army in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7, to 9,450.

The commission added that the cities of al-Khalil, Tulkarem, Nablus, and Occupied Jerusalem remained the epicenter of the Israeli raids where the detentions took place.

“The detainees were subjected to abuse, severe beatings, and threats against their families, in addition to widespread acts of sabotage and destruction of citizens’ homes,” the statement continued.

Separately, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs accused Israel of waging a “war of starvation” against women prisoners in its custody.

Women detainees endure “hunger strikes, food deprivation, and lack of medical treatment, alongside physical and psychological abuse during strip searches, and ongoing threats against their families,” it said.

According to the commission, there are currently 78 female prisoners in Israeli custody, with 71 held in the Damon Prison, including three from the Gaza Strip.
