Israeli occupation forces detained 762 Palestinians, including 19 women and 90 children, in February

WEST BANK, March 11 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation army arrested 762 Palestinians, including 90 children and 19 women, from various areas in the occupied West Bank during the past February, The Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and Palestinian Prisoners’ Club reported

The highest number of detentions occurred in Jenin and its refugee camp, accompanied by an increase in field investigations that affected hundreds of citizens.

According to a report issued by the Palestinian prisoners’ institutions, four slain Palestinians were identified, two of whom were announced during February. The two were identified as Musaab Haniya, who was killed on January 5, 2025, and Raafat Abu Fnouna, who was killed on February 26, 2025.

Since October 7, 2023, a total of 15,640 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank, including those still in detention and those later released. No data is available regarding detentions in Gaza.

The report also noted that since October 7, 2023, over 490 women have been detained, including those from the 1948-occupied territories and Gazan women detained in the West Bank. This figure does not account for women detained in Gaza, with their number estimated to be in the dozens.

Since the start of the aggression on Jenin and its refugee camp, approximately 300 detentions have been reported. Similarly, about 200 Palestinians have been detained since the aggression on Tulkarem and its camps began 43 days ago.

These figures exclude detentions in Gaza, where Israeli authorities have implemented a policy of enforced disappearance against detainees. The Israeli government has confirmed the detention of thousands from Gaza, with hundreds eventually released.
