Human Rights group: 'Israel' arrested 2600 Palestinians in 6 months
Ramallah (QNN)- Palestine Prisoners Centre for Studies documented over 2600 arrests against Palestinians during the firs half of 2019.
The centre said that the arrests targeted 410 children and 70 women. 94 arrests took place in Gaza, and mostly included fishermen.
'Israel' also arrested 4 members in the Palestinian legislative council, some of whom already spent long periods in the Israeli jails.
70 women were also arrested, most of whom from occupied Jerusalem and the youngest is Walaa Gheith (16 years old) from Hebron. Another female prisoners is Alia Khatib, who was directly shot in her leg before being arrested.
Sabha Maghamreh was arrested during a visit to her imprisoned husband, while the mother of Hamdi Rummaneh was also arrested during a visit to her imprisoned son.
At least seven Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since last night, as Israel continues to violate Trump’s so-called ceasefire agreement — killing hundreds of civilians and blocking desperately needed aid from entering the enclave.
British Health Secretary Wes Streeting privately said in 2025 that Israel was “committing war crimes before our eyes” and carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in the Gaza Strip, and that he supported imposing sanctions on Israel.
