“Israeli authorities have been continuing the arrest of 56 Palestinian female captives in Israeli jails of Sharon and Damoun, including 16 minor detainees who are under 18 years in addition to 11 sick women,” the committee noted.
In 2016, Israeli forces rounded up about 170 Palestinian women. Two female captives are held under the illegal administrative detention with no charge or trial.
