Prisoners' Club: The number of female prisoners in occupation prisons has risen to 47.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Club said that the Israeli occupation forces arrested seven women over the past two days, including a university student, bringing the number of female prisoners in Israeli jails to 47.

The club added in a statement issued on Monday that the majority of those arrested over the past two days were arrested, according to the occupation's initial allegations, on the basis of what the occupation calls "incitement" on social media, which today constitutes the most prominent systematic policy used by the occupation to arrest hundreds of citizens, and which constitutes another aspect of the crime of administrative detention, as this type of persecution has become a central tool for imposing further censorship and restrictions on freedom of opinion and expression.

The club explained that the majority of female prisoners are being held in Al-Damon prison, including two female prisoners from Gaza, two girls, two pregnant women in their sixth month, and 10 administrative detainees. It is worth noting that there are two female prisoners who have been detained since before October 7, which the occupation still refuses to release.

It is worth noting that the number of women arrested since the beginning of the war of extermination has exceeded 560 cases. This figure includes women arrested in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, as well as women from the 1948 territories. There is no clear estimate of the number of women arrested in Gaza.

It's worth noting that this systematic escalation has affected all women across the Palestinian territories, including minors. It has also included the detention of women as hostages, with dozens of them being held in detention, with the aim of pressuring a family member targeted by the occupation to surrender. This policy has constituted one of the most prominent crimes that has escalated dramatically since October 7.
