At the end of November 2017, there were 5,881 Palestinian security detainees and prisoners being held in Israel Prison Service (IPS) facilities, including 320 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.* Another 730 Palestinians, 12 of them from the Gaza Strip, were in IPS prisons for being in Israel illegally. The IPS classifies these Palestinians – both detainees and prisoners – criminal offenders.
In addition, in 2017, some 150 to 250 Palestinians were held for short periods of time in facilities run by the military.
The figures from the military are provided with a significant time delay and offer few details regarding the inmates’ legal standing. The following figures were provided by the IPS and the military, so responsibility for their accuracy lies with them.
* The diagram represents the number of inmates on a given day, according to figures we received for that day, as detailed in the tables below. We do not have figures available for the overall number of Palestinians in custody in a given month.

* According to figures received from the IDF Spokesperson, during Operation Protective Edge (July-August 2014), 159 Palestinians were apprehended in the Gaza Strip and taken to three purpose-built detention facilities near Gaza. All three facilities were shut down by 5 August 2014. Some of the detainees were released and others handed over to the custody of the IPS (Israel Prison Service), yet relevant figures were not provided. Once of the detainees now in IPS custody is being held under the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants Law.

Notes:
- Beginning in August 2008, the figures include Palestinian prisoners who are residents of East Jerusalem. In its figures for previous months and years, the IPS did not include these prisoners in its figures on Palestinian prisoners.
- Almost all Palestinian prisoners are now held in installations run by the Israel Prisons Service. On 3 October 2006, responsibility for Ofer Prison was transferred from the IDF to the IPS. Responsibility for Megiddo Prison was transferred to the IPS on 15 February 2005, and for Ketziot Prison on 1 March 2006.
- The figures from the military are received with a significant time delay and – with the exception of administrative detainees, whose status is noted as such – provide few details regarding inmates’ legal standing. According to the IDF Spokesperson, the majority of inmates – apart from a handful of individuals who have been tried and are serving sentences – are detainees. As we do not have this numerical breakdown at our disposal, the total number of inmates in military custody (with the exception of administrative detainees) is given under the heading “detainees”.
- Since February 2005, the Prisons Service has refused to provide B'Tselem with figures on detainees and prisoners on a regular, free of charge basis, as it did previously. Since then B'Tselem had to request the information monthly, under the Law on Freedom of information.
- The statistics presented above indicate the number of Palestinian residents of the Occupied Territories held by the IDF and the IPS on the specific date listed. B'Tselem does not have statistics on the total number of Palestinians held in a particular month. The Israeli Police noted that since 13 April 2008 the police is no longer responsible for any prison facilities(thereafter, the responsibility of the Prisons Service). The police no longer hold Palestinian detainees, other than for interrogation purposes.
- * = No statistics provided.
- The figures do not include individuals held on criminal charges, with the exception of Palestinians held for being in Israel unlawfully.
