Israeli authorities on Thursday placed 16-year-old Palestinian girl Rimas Asaad Dweikat from the northern occupied West Bank province of Nablus in administrative detention for four months without charge, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Society, Anadolu reports.
The group said in a statement that the decision raised the number of Palestinian women held under administrative detention to 21 out of 90 female detainees in Israeli prisons.
Dweikat is also one of three girls currently held in Israeli prisons, it added.
The group said Israeli forces detained Dweikat on Nov. 4 after raiding her family home in the town of Beita in Nablus province.
She is a high school student, according to the statement.
The number of Palestinians held under administrative detention has risen to unprecedented levels since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, including among women and children, the statement added.

The number of administrative detainees exceeded 3,100 as of October, including dozens of children under the age of 18, it said.
The group said the number of administrative detainees since the war began is the highest on record, amid an expansion in Israel’s use of the policy.
It described administrative detention as one of the most prominent policies Israel has systematically used against Palestinians for decades, affecting various segments of society.
The organization also accused Israeli courts at different levels of reinforcing the policy through “formalistic trials” and routinely approving detention orders issued on the basis of Israeli intelligence assessments.
It said the practice has undergone repeated changes over the years and continued to expand despite hunger strikes and court boycotts by Palestinian detainees protesting the policy.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society said Israeli authorities have continued to develop new methods and mechanisms to entrench and broaden the use of administrative detention.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel. New Labour UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham continues Labour party policy of active support and complicity in Israel’s genocide.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham admits to blatently lying and engaging in deception to become leader of the UK Labour Party and Prime Minister. He asks who could possibly object to the IDF starving people to death, conducting forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing all Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He says they’ve got a genocide to do for Israel and to stop objecting.
Ed Miliband claims that he and Andy Burnham have reformulated Blair’s triangulation strategy. Their new formulation entails acknowledging that they were wrong on Israel and Palestine but entails doing absolutely nothing about it and continuing exactly the same policies hoping that you’re too stupid to notice.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society warned Sunday that the life of Ahmad Saadat, secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), is at serious risk after he was subjected to a severe beating in Israeli prisons.
Abdullah al-Zaghari, the head of the society, told Anadolu that Saadat, 72, was “severely beaten” during his transfer from Megiddo prison in northern Israel to Gilboa prison in the south, without providing further details about the incident or its exact date.
“Saadat’s health condition is difficult, and the Israeli assaults pose a threat to his life,” he said.
Zaghari added that the attack on Saadat comes “as part of the ongoing targeting of leaders of the prisoners’ movement under the instructions of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.”
“Israeli policies pose a threat to Saadat’s life and the lives of all leaders of the prisoners’ movement, who are subjected to brutal assaults despite the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.”
Zaghari called for “providing protection for the detainees, who are living under extremely harsh and oppressive conditions.”
Saadat has been imprisoned in Israel since 2006, serving a 30-year sentence in connection with the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi in 2001.

Harsh conditions
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Commission of Detainees Affairs warned that detainees held at Israel’s Ofer military prison, west of Ramallah, are facing “harsh and humiliating” detention conditions.
The commission said one of the detainees, Ahmed Hareesh, from the town of Beitunia, west of Ramallah, suffers from severe stomach pain suspected to be caused by bacteria.
“Yet, he only receives painkillers, while the doctor takes hours to arrive and sometimes does not come at all,” the commission said, quoting his lawyer, who visited three detainees and heard their testimonies about the conditions they endure.
The lawyer quoted Hareesh as describing mass raids on prison cells, assaults on detainees, and handcuffing them for hours.
She also relayed the testimony of detainee Najy Sharif Awadallah, 24, from Beitunia, who said conditions are “extremely harsh, with continuous beatings, daily searches and raids, scarce food, a lack of hygiene, and sleep deprivation by removing the mattresses at six in the morning.”
Another detainee, Ezz al-Din Khaddour, 20, from the town of Biddu northwest of Jerusalem, said he suffers from a foot injury for which he was receiving treatment before his arrest, but has not received any medical care for 70 days despite needing medication and follow-up, according to the statement.
The commission added that these testimonies “reflect the deteriorating humanitarian situation inside Ofer camp, amid repeated calls by rights groups for urgent intervention and an end to the ongoing violations against detainees.
The Israeli army has detained more than 20,000 Palestinians in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, according to Palestinian figures.
