Context from the sources
Arab News cited Palestinian figures saying about 9,350 Palestinians were held in Israeli prisons, including 350 children and 90 women. The figures were presented as Palestinian-source estimates, not as an independently verified count in the report. [2]
Arab News also cited a UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs situation report documenting 397 settler attacks involving casualties or property damage from October 1 to 26, described as the highest monthly total since 2006. [2]
