Rights Group Raises Alarm
The Palestinian Prisoner Society on Monday called for urgent international intervention to secure the release of three pregnant Palestinian women detained in Israeli prisons.
In a statement, the organization held Israeli authorities fully responsible for the well-being of Amina al-Taweel, Dana Jouda, and Manar Ibrahim, who are currently being held in Damon Prison in northern Israel.
The group said the women are being held under “harsh” conditions and remain isolated from their families and the outside world.

According to the Prisoner Society, Amina al-Taweel, 37, from Qalqilya, is four months pregnant and was arrested on March 18, 2026. She is the mother of four children and the wife of a former prisoner who spent 19 years in Israeli prisons.
