Prisoner rights groups have said that among the detainees are 3,424 in administrative detention, 80 women and 250 children, Al Jazeera reports.
The groups said that this tally does not include the number of prisoners from Gaza, who are being subject to “enforced disappearance” since the war began in October.
“Six hundred Palestinians are serving life in prison or are expected to be handed this sentence,” the groups said.
“Among them are 21 who have been in prison since before the Oslo accords were signed in 1993. One of the prisoners, Mohammed al-Tous, has been in jail since 1985.”
