Israeli occupation forces arrest 142 women, including babies and elderly, during their offensive in Gaza

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Dec. 11 (YPA) – The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that 142 females, including nursing babies and elderly, are currently being held in Israeli jails after they were detained by the Israeli occupation during its ground offensive into the Gaza Strip.

The Prisoners’ organizations have previously issued a statement stating that the Israeli occupation is carrying out horrific and terrible crimes against Gaza detainees, amid its refusal to reveal their fate, in terms of their numbers, places of detention, and health status.

They stressed that the shocking and horrific testimonies of citizens from Gaza recently detained by Israeli forces raise high levels of fear for their fate day after day while warning that they do not rule out the possibility that the occupation might carry out field executions against detainees from Gaza.

To be noted, the Israeli Prison Administration announced that at the end of November 260 detainees from Gaza, who were classified by Israel as “unlawful combatants”, were detained in its jails.
