More than 50 Palestinian Women Held in Israeli Custody

West Bank, MINA – Israeli arrest campaigns targeting Palestinian women, including minors and university students, have notably escalated over the past few weeks, Anin al-Qaid Network said.

Early on Tuesday, Israeli forces stormed Kafr al-Lubad town, in Tulkarem, and kidnapped the girl Alaa Fukaha from her family’s home, PIC reported.

Female ex-prisoner Fidaa Ikhleil, 23, was also kidnapped from al-Khalil’s northern town of Beit Ummar.

Their detention raised the female prisoners’ number in Israeli jails to more than 50 including injured and sick prisoners, the sources underlined.

Anin al-Qaid Network called on human rights and women’s rights organization to intervene for the immediate release of Palestinian women and girls held in Israeli prisons amid very difficult detention condition.(R/R04/RS5)/
