240 Palestinian women arrested by Israel forces since Oct 7

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have arrested 240 Palestinian women in the West Bank and the territories occupied in 1948 since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, 2023.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, March 8, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club (PPC) said in a statement, “This year is the bloodiest by Israel against Palestinian women.”

“The history of targeting Palestinian women constituted one of the most prominent and systematic policies since the first years of the occupation,” it added.
