The Palestinian Prisoners Society said in a statement that Israel 
ordered 238 administrative

detentions sentences since the beginning of the military campaign in the 
West Bank on June 12. Administrative detention is the imprisonment of 
Palestinians without trial or charge, on secret evidence, for up to six 
month periods which are indefinitely renewable. Palestinians have spent 
years at a time in administrative detention.

These orders more than double the number of Palestinians held in 
administrative detention. Administrative detainees had previously 
engaged in a 62-day hunger strike, demanding an end to the practice 
which dates from the era of British mandate colonial control of 
Palestine. These 20 administrative detainees include Khader Adnan

whose lengthy hunger strike secured his release from administrative 
detention in 2012.
