Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants Law, 2002, regulates the incarceration of those who took part in hostile acts against the State of Israel or were members of forces carrying out hostile acts, and who are not defined as prisoners of war. The Law establishes a regulated procedure for issuing incarceration orders and mechanisms for oversight and judicial review, and includes a special arrangement for cases in which the Government has declared war or significant military operations. Due to the large number of detainees during the Iron Swords War, a temporary provision was established that extended the periods specified in the Law and adjusted the ranks of approving authorities. Now, as part of the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants Law (Amendment No. 4 and Temporary Provision – Iron Swords) (Amendment No. 8), 2026, the validity of the temporary provision concerning the incarceration of unlawful combatants was extended until 30 September 2026, and at the same time the validity of the declaration made under the Law was also extended until that date. Alongside these extensions, the temporary provision was amended so as to shorten the maximum time periods set out in it regarding the issuance of permanent incarceration orders, the holding of judicial review, the prevention of a meeting between a detainee and an attorney, and the incarceration of minors.
