Full Analysis Summary
Reported Palestinian detention figures
Wilayah.my reports that more than 9,300 Palestinians were held in Israeli prisons as of early February 2026, according to data released by the Persatuan Tahanan Palestin (PPS).
The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that figure, saying it was compiled from prisoner rights groups and information from the Israel Prison Service.
This source is the only one of the three provided to supply a specific reported detention total; other sources document mass detentions and abuses but do not give the same consolidated numeric count.
Coverage Differences
Emphasis / Data vs. Narrative
Wilayah.my provides a concrete detention total (a quantitative focus), whereas IMEMC News emphasizes the breadth and targets of mass detentions and calls for international intervention (a rights and advocacy focus), and Al-Jazeera highlights prison conditions and family campaigns against punitive measures like a proposed death penalty (a human-rights and personal-impact focus). Each source is reporting different aspects: Wilayah.my reports a compiled figure via WAFA and PPS, IMEMC reports PPS statements about raids and abductions, and Al-Jazeera reports on campaigns and alleged abuses in detention.
Reports on mass detentions
Rights groups reported by IMEMC News describe mass detentions and raids across the occupied territory, stating explicitly that 'abductions have targeted children, women, journalists, workers and former detainees.'
IMEMC says the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) is calling on international bodies to intervene to stop Israel's broad use of administrative detention and to secure access to detainees in Gaza.
Wilayah.my's numerical report does not list the same categories of targeted people; instead it focuses on the overall figure compiled by WAFA from PPS and the Israel Prison Service.
Coverage Differences
Narrative focus / Targeting
IMEMC News (Other) frames the situation as targeted abductions of specific groups and explicitly presents PPS’s plea for international intervention to halt administrative detention and gain access to detainees. Wilayah.my (Other) gives a summarized numeric total via WAFA and PPS but omits the granular list of targeted groups in the provided excerpt. Al-Jazeera (West Asian) corroborates that women and children have been detained and highlights families’ campaigns against punitive measures, but it focuses more on conditions and advocacy than on listing categories the way IMEMC does.
Detention conditions and campaigns
Al-Jazeera reports on conditions inside Israeli detention and on a family-led campaign.
Wives of former prisoners launched a campaign urging human-rights groups, activists and influencers worldwide to help save the prisoners and to oppose an Israeli government proposal to introduce the death penalty.
Al-Jazeera's account catalogs alleged abuses, describing conditions as harsh and inhumane and citing alleged torture, solitary confinement, and denial of medical care and visits.
It also highlights administrative detention and the degrading detention of women and children in violation of international law.
IMEMC echoes concerns about administrative detention and access to detainees, while Wilayah.my supplies a broader detention tally without detailing conditions.
Coverage Differences
Tone / Severity of allegations
Al-Jazeera (West Asian) uses vivid, rights-focused language and quotes families’ campaigns to emphasize alleged mistreatment and the political stakes (including opposition to a proposed death penalty). IMEMC (Other) emphasizes calls for international intervention, particularly to stop administrative detention and secure access. Wilayah.my (Other) is more data-focused in the provided text and does not include the same detailed allegations about treatment. The sources thus differ in tone: Al-Jazeera foregrounds alleged abuses and family advocacy, IMEMC foregrounds rights-group appeals, and Wilayah.my foregrounds aggregate data.
Source comparison on detentions
Information in these excerpts shows clear overlap but also gaps.
Wilayah.my provides the single consolidated figure compiled by WAFA and PPS.
IMEMC sets out who has been targeted and calls for international oversight to stop administrative detention and secure access to detainees.
Al-Jazeera focuses on families' advocacy and detailed allegations of mistreatment inside detention, and reports opposition to the proposed death penalty.
None of the three provided excerpts offers the precise breakdowns of detainees by age and gender (for example, counts of "350 children" or "56 women") in the text given here, so those specific numbers cannot be validated against the supplied sources.
Readers should treat the Wilayah.my aggregate number as the only explicit count in the provided material while recognizing IMEMC and Al-Jazeera provide complementary, qualitative evidence of mass detentions and alleged abuses.
Coverage Differences
Missing data / Ambiguity
The most significant factual gap across the excerpts is granular demographic breakdowns: Wilayah.my gives an aggregate detention total but does not provide a breakdown by children or women in the provided text; IMEMC and Al-Jazeera report targeted groups and alleged abuses but do not supply precise counts. Therefore, claims naming exact numbers of children and women detained are not verifiable from these three excerpts alone.
