Ramallah- detainees organizations (Commission of Detainees’ Affairs, Palestinian Prisoner’s Society, Addameer Association for Human Rights) issued a report summarizing key issues and data regarding the situation of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons during 2024.
This year has been marked as the bloodiest in the history of the Palestinian struggle against the Israeli occupation.
The report includes an extensive analysis of policies, statistics, and the horrific crimes committed by the Israeli occupation during arrest campaigns, particularly in the West Bank, which escalated following the onset of what has been described as a war of extermination.
This is in the light of the ongoing comprehensive aggression against the Palestinian people and the continuous genocide in Gaza for more than 450 days.
The report highlights significant transformations afflicting the conditions of detainees following the war, as part of broader systemic changes imposed by the Israeli prison authorities over recent years. It also documents the widespread crimes witnessed, including severe torture of detainees, enforced disappearances of detainees from Gaza, administrative detentions, and systematic killings of detainees.
Since the start of the war, (54) detainees and prisoners have been killed, whose identities are confirmed. Among them, (35) martyrs were from Gaza. In total, (43) detainees were killed in 2024.
The report is based on daily field monitoring of arrests, reports from legal teams within the organizations, and numerous testimonies documented throughout the year.
Attached is Statistical data on detention campaigns and numbers of Palestinian detainees since the onset of the genocide until the end of 2024.
Total arrest cases during 2024 stands at (8800) in the West Bank and Jerusalem, (14,300) since the beginning of war

Statistics include detainees who were arrested from their houses, on checkpoints, who surrendered themselves and those who were arrested as hostages.
Besides to detention campaigns, the Israeli forces implemented field executions, afflicted detainees and their family members.
It has been noted that the information about arrest cases in the West Bank include detainees who still under arrest, and released ones.
The highest record of arrest cases was in Hebron and Jerusalem.
Data exclude detention cases of Gaza, due to the occupation’s refusal to give any information and the continuation of practicing the crime of enforced disappearance against them. It is worth mentioning that the occupation forces arrested hundreds of Gazan workers from the West Bank, in addition to Gazans who have been in the West Bank for treatment. Moreover, they arrested more than ( 1000) citizens from northern Gaza.
