JAKARTA - The Detention and Ex-Detention Commission, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) and the Addameer Foundation for Prisoners and Human Rights Care said at least 18 prisoners were killed in prisons after October 7.

They said dozens of prisoners from the Gaza Strip were also killed in prisons and detention centers, and up to this movement, occupations did not reveal their identities and the state of their deaths.

"Israeli occupation forces have detained the bodies of at least 16 detainees since the start of aggression in the Gaza Strip," prisoners said in a joint statement.

They showed this data did not cover the number of detentions from Gaza, recording the occupation admitting it had detained some 4,000 residents from Gaza, hundreds of whom had been released, recording the occupation of detaining hundreds of Gaza workers in the West Bank..

These institutions clarified that the number of prisoners in prisons in the occupation reached around 9,700 people, until early July 2024, while the number of administrative prisoners was 3,380 people.

The institutions also indicated that the number of female prisoners in prisons of occupation reached 86 prisoners in Israeli prisons in Damoun, including a pregnant woman.

They also added that there were at least 23 female detainees placed under administrative detention, stressing that among the detainees there were at least 250 children.

Since the start of Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, administrative detention orders have numbered more than 7,500 orders, including new orders and update orders, including orders against children and women.

Separately, Gaza's medical authorities confirmed yesterday that at least 30 people were killed and 146 others killed in Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours.

That brings the death toll of Palestinians as a result of Israel's deadly aggression into the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, which has now reached 39,175 people, while 90,403 people have been injured.
