administrative detention

Israeli Defense Minister Katz boasted about ending administrative detention for Jews while increasing its use against Arabs. He also highlighted the IDF's demolition of 24 historic villages in southern Lebanon, which included 15,000 to 20,000 homes.

The UK consulate in Jerusalem's X account was suspended, likely due to a post criticizing Israel's use of administrative detention against Palestinians. The post highlighted over 9,000 detainees held without charge or trial and referenced the abduction of Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiyah by Israeli forces.

Israeli forces detained five Palestinian women in West Bank raids across Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, and Bethlehem. The detentions, part of a growing trend, include women linked to political activism, social media criticism, or university student groups, with some held under administrative detention without formal charges.

Palestinian journalist Mujahed Bani Mufleh's before-and-after photos from eight months in Israeli administrative detention sparked global outrage. He suffered a brain hemorrhage and required surgeries due to prison conditions and medical neglect, with rights groups condemning the Israeli prison system as a tool for 'slow and direct killing'.

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Hussam Abu Safiya, who leads Kamal Adwan Hospital and serves as a colonel in Hamas Military Medical Services. He has been in administrative detention since 2024 and is currently in solitary confinement.

Israeli authorities released Hamas co-founder Hassan Yousef after more than two years in administrative detention.
