Detention, Prosecution, and Punishment following the October 7 Massacre
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch - What are the legal frameworks and the complexities associated with detaining, prosecuting, and punishing terrorists in Israel? This is an overview of the relevant provisions of Israeli law, the law applicable in Judea and Samaria, and where necessary, references to international law. Israeli law has four frameworks of detention: arrest for investigation, administrative detention - focused on determining criminal responsibility for past acts - and administrative detention, detention of unlawful combatants, and the holding of prisoners of war - which are all preventive in nature. The writer served for 19 years in the IDF Military Advocate General Corps and was director of the Military Prosecution in Judea and Samaria.
