Israeli authorities have issued administrative detention orders against 22 Palestinians, a rights group said Tuesday.

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said that 17 of the prisoners had been issued administrative detention orders in the past, some of them two or three times.

Only five of the 22 prisoners are being issued such orders for the first time.

Administrative detention is a policy by which Israeli authorities hold Palestinians in custody without charge or trial, sometimes indefinitely.

The prisoners were identified as:
