Over 5000 Palestinian administrative actions this year
The Israeli occupation authorities employ a repressive policy of extensive administrative detention against Palestinians. The number of administrative detainees has increased from around 1,300 before 2023 to over 3,300 by August 2026, representing a 260% rise. Israeli courts issue more than 5,000 administrative detention orders annually, and many freed prisoners are re-arrested repeatedly, with some held behind bars for over 15 years without formal charges. This policy aims to restrict the lives of Palestinians and marginalize their elites. The Israeli intelligence agency, Shin Bet, controls this process, relying on secret information that detainees and their lawyers are not allowed to access. This lack of transparency hampers legal defense rights and enables the extension of detention for years. Administrative detention is used as a tool of collective punishment and to silence Palestinian leaders. It has drawn widespread international criticism, with calls for its cessation and the release of those held without charges.
