The Israeli authorities on Tuesday issued a further 53 administrative detention orders against Palestinian prisoners ranging from periods of two to six months, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society said.
A lawyer for the society, Mahmoud al-Halabi, told Ma'an that 36 orders were issued against recently detained prisoners while another 17 were renewed orders against prisoners that have been in Israeli custody for months and years.
There are now more than 500 Palestinian prisoners being held under administrative detention, a controversial Israeli practice that allows internment without trial for six-month intervals that can be renewed indefinitely.
Israeli officials claim the practice is an essential tool in preventing attacks and protecting sensitive intelligence because it allows authorities to keep evidence secret.
However, it has been strongly criticized by the international community as well as both Israeli and Palestinian rights activists.
