PPS said that the number of Palestinians detained since the onset of Israel’s relentless aggression on October 7, 2023, has reached 9,280, including children and women. The detainees were either detained and taken by the army from their homes and at military checkpoints, or forced under pressure to hand themselves to Israel.

PPS said in a press statement that there are currently 9,300 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centres, including approximately 250 child prisoners and 75 female prisoners.

It said the highest number of detentions were recorded in occupied East Jerusalem and reached 2353 people, and the highest rate was recorded in April and reached 1228 cases.
