Neve Tirtza Prison (Hebrew: ÃÂÃÂê áÃÂÃÂè àÃÂÃÂàêèæÃÂ) is Israel's only women's prison.
Neve Tirtza opened in 1968. Before it opened, female prisoners were held in special women's wings of what were otherwise men's prisons. It is one of several prisons located in Ramla and is directly adjacent to Maasiyahu Prison. In 2019, there were 200 women incarcerated at Neve Tirtza.
In 1970, a 9-day hunger strike was undertaken by Palestinians detained in Neve Tirtza over access to sanitary products.
In 1997, Palestinian prisoner Itaf Alayan, under administrative detention, undertook a 43-day hunger strike at the prison, one of the longest prisoner hunger strikes in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
In 2001, an 8-day hunger strike was undertaken by Palestinians detained in Neve Tirtza.
