The Commission of Detainees Affairs reviewed in a report the cruel circumstances in which Palestinian women detainees live over the years of long conflict with the Israeli occupier, where more than 17.000 Palestinian females have experienced detention in Israeli jails since 1967.
The Commission pointed out that period of the first Intifada which began in 1987, witnessed the largest campaigns of detention against Palestinian women. On one hand, the number of detention cases among women reached up to 3000. On the other hand, 1000 Palestinian women have been arrested during the second Intifada which began in 2000.
Since 2009- 2012, detention against women decreased but it increased again with the outbreak of the popular Palestinian uprising in 2015. It continued to 2018, which witnessed a high increase in detention cases against Palestinian women, especially the strugglers in Al-Aqsa Mosque. However, 35 Palestinian women are currently held in the Israeli jails. 
The Commission stated that all women detainees are held at Damoun prison in inhumane and cruel conditions, including 20 mothers and 6 wounded women. The highest sentence reached to 16 years of imprisonment, and half of them are under arrest.
All women detainees suffer from the policy of medical negligence, especially those who are wounded. They complain about the absence of gynecologist and the lack of appropriate medicines.
The detainee Israa Jaabees is the most difficult cases. She needs an urgent surgery after having severe burns during arrest, where 8 of her fingers were amputated but the occupation authorities still procrastinate in conducting the operation.
The commission also stated that women detainees suffer from the transportation during the transfer to Hasharon prison, deprivation of family visits, lack of a kitchen in the prison and the surveillance cameras installed permanently in the prison's yard.
