The Prisoners Club reviewed the most prominent data on arrest operations, which include arrests in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, where the total number of arrests there amounted to more than (17) thousand cases.
He noted in a statement issued Wednesday that this figure does not include the thousands of arrests in Gaza, as the concept of arrests includes those who were arrested and kept in detention by the occupation, as well as those who were later released.
He pointed out that the number of women arrested since the beginning of the war of extermination has reached (537) (this statistic includes women who were arrested from the 1948 territories, and women arrested from Gaza who were arrested from the West Bank), and this data does not include the number of women arrested from Gaza, whose number is estimated in the dozens.
Regarding the cases of arrest among children, the Prisoners Club said that the number of arrests among them in the West Bank amounted to no less than (1360).
The ongoing arrests are accompanied by escalating crimes and violations, including: acts of abuse and severe beatings, threats against detainees and their families, in addition to widespread acts of vandalism and destruction of citizens' homes, the seizure of vehicles, money and gold jewelry, in addition to the widespread destruction of infrastructure, particularly in the Tulkarm and Jenin camps, the demolition of homes belonging to families of prisoners, the use of family members as hostages, and the use of detainees as human shields.
Since the beginning of the war of extermination, at least (70) prisoners whose identities were revealed and announced have been martyred in the occupation prisons, including (44) martyrs from Gaza detainees, in addition to dozens of Gaza detainees who were martyred in prisons and camps, and the occupation did not disclose their identities and the circumstances of their martyrdom, while they were subject to enforced disappearance.
Torture, starvation, and medical crimes, along with diseases and epidemics deliberately spread by the prison system among prisoners, as well as sexual assaults and rapes, led to the deaths of dozens of prisoners after the genocide, making this the bloodiest phase in the history of the prisoner movement.
It is noteworthy that (68) prisoners who were martyred and whose identities were announced since the beginning of the war of extermination have their bodies held, and they are among (79) martyred prisoners whose bodies the occupation continues to hold, and whose identities have been announced.
Until today, and since the beginning of the war of extermination, there is no clear estimate of the number of detainees from Gaza in the occupation’s prisons and camps. The only available data is what the occupation’s prison administration announces of those it classifies as “illegal combatants,” which is (1,846). Note that the institutions have not been able to monitor the number of arrests from Gaza in light of the crime of enforced disappearance imposed by the occupation on Gaza detainees since the beginning of the war, and their number is estimated in the thousands.
Total number of prisoners in occupation prisons until May 2025:
The number of prisoners and detainees in the occupation prisons is more than ten thousand and one hundred, including (45) female prisoners, and more than (400) children, while the number of administrative detainees is (3577), and the number of those classified by the occupation prison administration from the Gaza detainees (as illegal combatants), who were recognized by the occupation prison administration is (1846), noting that this data does not include all the detainees of Gaza, specifically those who are in the camps affiliated with the occupation army.
The number of administrative detainees constitutes the highest number of convicted prisoners and prisoners held in occupation prisons. This percentage of administrative detainees is the highest in history compared to other periods in which Palestine witnessed popular uprisings and uprisings.
