This is called "Administrative Detention". You can read about it here: https://www.btselem.org/administrative_detention. Furthermore there are hundreds or thousands of Palestinians languishing in Israeli jails who have never received a fair trial. They were given military trials in which they don't have the normal rights that are provided in civil trials. Civil trials are reserved for Israelis and Jews, while Palestinians only get these military trials. So those prisoners should get fair trials or be released. The third category is several Gazans who were held by Israel since the October 7th attacks. Israel released a number of them today. I'm not sure if Israel is holding any more of them: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/03/middleeast/israel-cuts-ties-gaza-permit-workers-intl-hnk/index.html
