3. 130 women and girls in Israeli prisons since the beginning of the year
The Palestine Center for Prisoner Studies recorded 130 arrests of women and girls from the West Bank and Jerusalem since the beginning of the current year, as the policy of targeting Palestinian women through arrest, mistreatment and field interrogation continues, amid harsh conditions faced by female prisoners inside Israeli prisons.
The center said in a statement that arrests of Palestinian women have increased significantly since October 7, 2023, reaching around 800 cases. It stressed that these arrests are part of a policy of retaliation and collective punishment, while most cases have been based on vague charges, including those related to social media posts that Israel classifies as “incitement.”

4. Gaza Center: Israeli ban on spare parts threatens complete collapse of the transport sector in Gaza
The Gaza Center for Human Rights expressed deep concern over the rapidly deteriorating transport sector in the Gaza Strip, as a result of the continued blockade imposed by the Israeli authorities and their deliberate prevention of the entry of spare parts, engine oils, tires and mechanical maintenance supplies, under the pretext of classifying them as so-called “dual-use materials.”
The center said in a statement that the ban has caused around 70% of civilian vehicles to become completely or partially inoperable, according to official data issued by the relevant authorities in Gaza. Direct losses in the transportation sector were estimated at approximately $2.8 billion as a result of the war.

5. Settlement expansion consumes the West Bank: 192 settlements and 400 outposts

On the lands of the town of Al-Eizariya, southeast of occupied Jerusalem, lies the Bedouin community of Jabal al-Baba, whose residents face an uncertain future and a new catastrophe as Israeli authorities begin implementing the “E1” settlement plan.
Jabal al-Baba is one of the Palestinian Bedouin communities located at the heart of the settlement plan, which aims to expand and connect settlements and separate Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings, threatening the existence of these communities and the future of their residents.
