Number of Palestinian detainees in Israeli custody surpasses 11,100

LONDON: The total number of Palestinian detainees in Israeli custody exceeded 11,100 in October, as reported by prisoners’ institutions on Wednesday. It is the highest number since the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000 and nearly twice the figure prior to October 2023, when there were about 5,250 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Among the long-term prisoners are 17 individuals incarcerated since before the 1993 Oslo Accords. This group includes Ibrahim Abu Mokh, Ibrahim Bayadseh, Ahmad Abu Jaber and Samir Abu Na’meh, all detained since 1986, the Wafa news agency reported.
