At least 10,400 Palestinians in Israeli custody

KABUL (Pajhwok): At least 10,400 Palestinians are in Israeli custody, including more than 3,300 administrative detainees held without charge or trial, Al Jazeera reported on Wednesday.

On Jan. 15, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani announced the ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.

The Palestinians in Israeli custody included 320 children and 88 women, the TV channel said, adding about 3,376 of them were held without charge.

Gaza’s Public Works Ministry says Israeli forces have destroyed 80 percent of the buildings in the enclave, leaving some 300,000 Palestinians homeless.
