Israeli Prison Authority Escalates Solitary Confinement Policy Against Female Palestinian Prisoners in Damon.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office revealed a marked escalation in the Israeli Prison Service’s use of rotating solitary confinement against Palestinian female detainees held in Damon Prison.

The disclosure, made public on Saturday, points to a deliberate policy shift affecting female prisoners specifically, raising renewed concern among human rights monitors over conditions inside the facility.

Gaza-based sources confirmed that the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office reported on Saturday a significant intensification of the Israeli Prison Service’s practice of rotating solitary confinement targeting Palestinian women held at Damon Prison. According to the disclosure, the policy has been applied in a rotating manner against multiple female detainees, a method that prisoner-rights advocates say is designed to inflict prolonged psychological pressure while making the practice harder to track and document. The report adds to a growing body of testimony from Palestinian prisoner-support organizations describing deteriorating conditions inside Israeli detention facilities, including restricted family visits, limited access to medical care, and repeated punitive measures imposed on detainees without formal disciplinary proceedings. Rights groups have long criticized the use of solitary confinement as a violation of international detention standards, particularly when applied to women and used as a recurring rather than exceptional measure.
