The Israeli military commander in the occupied West Bank has issued a new temporary military order, No. (2290), amending Article (288) of Military Order No. (1651) concerning “Security Provisions,” specifically regarding appeal procedures for administrative detention orders before Israeli military courts. The amendment entered into force in April 2026 and will remain in effect until 15 July 2026.

The amendment grants the military court the authority to examine appeals against administrative detention orders solely on the basis of written materials and submissions presented before it, without hearing the parties to the case. It further stipulates that the court need only set a date for the submission of written responses, instead of holding an actual hearing attended by the detainee and their lawyer.
