The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) says that 11,000 Palestinians were arrested in 2023, including 1,085 children and 300 women, Al Jazeera reports.

The numbers of those detained are similar to those detentions that took place in the early years of the second Intifada in 2001-2002, the PPS said.

At least 5,500 Palestinians were arrested after October 7, including 355 children and 184 women.

Currently, there are 8,800 Palestinians in Israeli jails, including 3,291 Palestinians detained without charges.
