Prisoners' institutions said on Thursday, "The number of arrests among women after October 7 reached about 240 in the West Bank, the occupied interior, and occupied Jerusalem."


The prisoner institutions confirmed in a statement that there is no clear estimate of the number of women who were arrested from Gaza, as a number of them were later released, but it is certain that there are still women detained in the Israeli camps, and they are subject to enforced disappearance.


The institutions indicated that the number of female prisoners sitting in the Israeli prisons, the majority of whom are detained in (Damoun) prison, reached (60) female prisoners, including two female prisoners from Gaza who are detained in (Damoun) prison. Among the female prisoners are two minors, (24) mothers, and (12) female prisoners. Administrative detainees include a lawyer, a journalist, and 12 female student prisoners.


The institutions confirmed that (11) female prisoners are facing diseases and health problems, including two wounded female prisoners, in addition to female prisoners who are wives of prisoners, mothers of prisoners, and sisters of martyrs, in addition to the presence of the mother of a martyr among the female prisoners.


It is noteworthy that three female prisoners remain detained since before October 7, and the Israeli authorities refuse to include them in the exchange deals concluded between the Israel and the Palestinian resistance in November of last year.
