The Palestinian Prisoner's Club announced that the number of female prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons has risen to 89, following a campaign of arrests that targeted four girls on Tuesday. The club affirmed that these arrests are part of a systematic policy targeting Palestinian women, which has been continuously and increasingly implemented for many months.
Human rights data indicates that among the female prisoners held in prisons are three children and three pregnant women, who face difficult detention conditions. The prison also holds 19 female detainees under administrative detention without charge, in addition to two female prisoners suffering from cancer who require special medical care.
The female prisoners are distributed among several centers, with the vast majority held in 'Damon' prison, which lacks the most basic humanitarian necessities. Others remain held in initial interrogation and detention centers, where they are subjected to severe psychological and physical pressure before being transferred to permanent cells.
On the ground, the city of Nablus witnessed widespread incursions concentrated in the Fatayer neighborhood, where occupation forces deployed military vehicles, leading to violent confrontations with young men. Israeli forces heavily used rubber bullets and tear gas canisters, while citizens tried to confront the incursion with stones and available means.
In the southern Nablus countryside, settlers carried out a brutal attack on the village of Madama, directly targeting citizens' homes and properties. The settlers set fire to dozens of dunams of agricultural land planted with olive trees, causing severe material losses to Palestinian farmers in the area.
The settlers did not stop at burning; they also fired live ammunition indiscriminately at residents who tried to reach their lands to extinguish the raging fires. These attacks coincided with the arrest of young man Muhammad Nafiz Nassar from the village by occupation forces, and the incursion into the neighboring village of Iraq Burin to search its homes.
In the context of settlement expansion, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission revealed the issuance of a new military order to seize 300 dunams of land in Jabal Al-Fureidis. These lands are located within the borders of Arab Al-Ta'amra, east of Bethlehem Governorate, a strategic area that the occupation seeks to fully control.
The occupation authorities justified the confiscation decision under the pretext of 'expropriation for public purposes' and the claim of 'developing the archaeological site' in the area. The commission considered this step a legal cover for the process of plundering Palestinian land and expanding settlements surrounding Bethlehem, as part of a plan to displace the indigenous population.
In the city of Al-Bireh, occupation forces raided several neighborhoods and confiscated surveillance camera recordings from shops and homes, and also stormed the village of Surda, north of Ramallah. In occupied Jerusalem, forces set up a military checkpoint on the bridge of Silwan town, where they launched a campaign of inspection and arrests targeting a number of Palestinian workers.
Areas north of Jerusalem also witnessed an attempt by groups of settlers to advance towards the Bedouin gathering of 'Ma'azi Jaba', but the residents confronted them and forced them to retreat. These movements come within the framework of continuous attempts by settlers to impose a new reality in the Bedouin communities surrounding the holy city.
Official statistics indicate a dangerous escalation in violations since October 2023, with 1168 martyrs in the West Bank and more than 12,000 injured. Arrests reached about 23,000 cases, amid a policy of forced displacement that affected more than 33,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands.
Occupation authorities continue to target Palestinian women through systematic and continuous arrest campaigns, raising the number of female prisoners in prisons to 89.
