Today, Saturday, protests and marches were launched in several governorates in the West Bank, as part of the activities of the "National and International Day in Support of Gaza and the Prisoners."

The participants in the protests and marches raised the Palestinian flag, flags of the factions, and pictures of prisoners inside the occupation prisons.

The participants chanted slogans denouncing the Israeli occupation and its ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip, as well as the rights of prisoners in prisons.

On July 26, Palestinian institutions concerned with prisoners and national and Islamic forces, in a press conference, with the participation of unions, federations, and popular and national frameworks, declared August 3, 2024, a “national and international day to support Gaza and the prisoners.”

The total number of prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons is more than (9900), while the number of administrative detainees in occupation prisons is about (3380), and the number of those classified by the occupation authorities as (illegal combatants) is more than (1400).

The number of martyrs of the prisoner movement since 1967 has risen to (257), including (20) prisoners who have been martyred since the beginning of the war of extermination, and whose identities have been announced, in addition to dozens of martyred detainees from Gaza, and the occupation continues to conceal their identities.

Since October 7, Israel, the occupying power, has been waging a war on the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 130,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that has claimed the lives of dozens of children.
