The Israeli occupation authorities have issued 1,365 administrative detention orders against Palestinian prisoners since the start of 2022, the Palestine Prisoners' Club (PPC) said on Wednesday. Some were new orders, while others were renewals of existing orders.

"The Israeli occupation has widened the circle of targeting the Palestinians through administrative detention," the organization added.

Administrative detention is a procedure that allows Israel to hold prisoners for renewable periods based on secret evidence with neither charge nor trial. The PPC said that 272 orders were issued last month, the highest monthly number since 2015.

The Israeli occupation now holding 760 administrative detainees in its prisons, including two women and four children.

The PPC claims that administrative detention is used as "revenge" against Palestinian society due to its rejection of Israel's brutal military occupation.

It is noteworthy that more than 80% of the administrative detainees are former prisoners, who spent years in the prisons of the Israeli occupation, and most of them were under administrative detention.

Recently, the occupation authorities deliberately target prisoners who were released a year or two ago after they spent 18 years in Israeli prisons, and administratively re-arrest them.
