RAMALLAH, November 12, 2026 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that Israeli authorities have placed 16-year-old Palestinian detainee Rimas Asaad Dweikat, from Nablus, under a four-month administrative detention order, bringing the number of Palestinian women held in administrative detention to 21 out of 90 women held in Israeli prisons.
Dweikat is a high school student and one of three Palestinian girls currently held in Israeli prisons. The PPS affirmed that Israeli forces detained Dweikat on November 4, following a military raid on her family’s home in the town of Beita, in the Nablus governorate.
The society pointed out that the number of Palestinians held in administrative detention has surged at an unprecedented rate since the start of the genocidal war, including women and children. The number of administrative detainees exceeded 3,100 as of last October, including dozens of children under the age of 18.
