Palestinian Administrative Detainee from Jenin Martyred in Israeli Hospital
Ramallah – SABA: The Palestinian Civil Affairs Authority informed both the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Club of the martyrdom of administrative detainee Luay Faisal Muhammad Nasrallah (22 years old) from Jenin, who passed away on Monday at Soroka Hospital in the Israeli entity after being transferred from Negev Prison. No further details have yet been released about the circumstances of his death. The Commission and the Prisoners Club explained that Nasrallah had been held under administrative detention by the Israeli occupation authorities since March 26, 2024, and he now joins the list of martyrs of the prisoners' movement—victims of systematic crimes committed by the Israeli prison system, particularly since the ongoing genocide began. These crimes include torture, medical negligence, and starvation. They added that Negev Prison, where Nasrallah had been held, is known as one of the worst Israeli prisons for human rights abuses. The continued spread of scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei) in the facility has been turned into a tool of deliberate harm by the prison administration. Nasrallah, according to his family, had no prior health issues before his arrest. With the martyrdom of Nasrallah, the number of Palestinian prisoners and detainees known to have been killed since the genocide began rises to 73—those whose identities are confirmed despite the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance. This phase marks one of the bloodiest in the history of the Palestinian prisoners' movement and the Palestinian people as a whole. Since 1967, the total number of known prisoner martyrs has now reached 310. The Commission and the Prisoners Club stressed that the growing number of martyrs among detainees is reaching alarming levels as thousands remain imprisoned and are subjected to ongoing systematic crimes, including torture, abuse of all forms, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and deliberate exposure to life-threatening and infectious diseases such as scabies. They also face unprecedented deprivation policies. They described Nasrallah's death as another crime in the record of Israeli brutality, where killing prisoners has become a deliberate objective. This crime represents yet another face of the broader ongoing genocide. The Commission and the Club held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for Nasrallah's martyrdom and renewed their call to the international human rights community to take decisive actions to hold Israeli leaders accountable for war crimes. They urged the imposition of international sanctions on the Israeli entity to end its impunity and restore credibility to international law and human rights mechanisms, which have thus far failed in the face of genocide.

Israeli Occupation issues administrative detention order against Palestinian girl without charges
Ramallah – Saba: The Israeli occupation authorities have issued a four-month administrative detention order against 17-year-old Palestinian girl Hanaa Haitham Ismail Hammad from the Hebron area, raising the number of female administrative detainees to ten out of 41 women currently held in Israeli prisons. According to a joint statement issued Wednesday by the Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Club, the occupation forces arrested Hanaa on June 9 after raiding her family's home in Al-Arroub refugee camp. During the arrest, both the girl and her mother—who was temporarily detained—were subjected to field interrogation and harsh treatment, before the mother was released later. The statement noted an unprecedented rise in administrative detentions since the beginning of the war, with the number of administrative detainees reaching 3,562 as of early June, including approximately 95 minors under the age of 18. It added that administrative detention has increasingly targeted various segments of Palestinian society—including women, children, and political and social activists—with at least 400 administrative detention orders issued in a single week, among thousands issued since the escalation began. The commission and the Prisoners Club emphasized that Israeli military courts continue to legitimize administrative detention orders through what they described as 'procedural formalities', without presenting formal charges or ensuring fair trials, and under the direction of the Israeli intelligence agency (Shin Bet). The statement further highlighted a shift in the use of administrative detention in recent years. Detainees have protested through hunger strikes and boycotting court sessions, yet the occupation has continued expanding this policy using new methods. It is worth noting that eight administrative detainees have died in Israeli prisons since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza on October 7, 2023, among a total of 72 prisoners martyred during the same period, according to statistics from the Commission and the Prisoners Club.

Palestinian NGO says teen dies in Israeli prison
RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Prisoners Club advocacy group said Monday that a teenage inmate died in an Israeli jail, decrying a spike in deaths in custody since the start of the Gaza war. In a statement, the group announced the death of Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmad, 17, in Meggido prison in northern Israel under unknown circumstances. Israel's Prison Service said in a statement that a 17-year-old prisoner had died Sunday at the facility. 'His health condition is covered by medical confidentiality,' the statement said. One of thousands of Palestinians in Israeli custody, Ahmad was the 63rd Palestinian inmate to die in an Israeli jail since the October 2023 outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, according to the Prisoners Club. The advocacy group said Ahmad, from the town of Silwad near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, was detained on September 30. It was not clear what led to his arrest. The Prisoners Club said that a 'growing number' of detainees have died in Israeli custody due to 'systematic abuses' throughout the Gaza war. 'This period has been the deadliest in the history of the Palestinian prisoners' movement since 1967,' it said, referring to the year Israel seized Palestinian territories including the West Bank in a war. Rights groups including Israel's B'Tselem have documented numerous deaths of Palestinians in Israeli prisons during the Gaza war. B'Tselem has also reported worsening detention conditions for Palestinians, including 'systematic mistreatment' and 'torture,' which Israeli authorities have denied. The Prisoners Club said in September there were at least 250 Palestinian minors in Israeli custody. According to non-government group Defense for Children International Palestine, 'each year approximately 500-700 Palestinian children, some as young as 12 years old, are detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military court system. The most common charge is stone-throwing.'

Joint Statement: Occupation arrests 50 citizens from West Bank
Ramallah - Saba: The Prisoners Club and the Commission of Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Affairs has said that the Israeli occupation forces arrested at least (50) citizens from the occupied West Bank, including children and former prisoners, since Tuesday evening until Wednesday morning. The club and the commission explained in a joint statement that the arrests and field investigations were distributed in the governorates of Hebron, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho, and Tubas. The occupation has continued to implement its military operation in Jenin and Tulkarm for weeks, accompanied by systematic arrests and field investigations that have affected dozens of families, in addition to detaining citizens as hostages, and turning homes into military barracks, in addition to the deliberate destruction of infrastructure. The occupation forces carry out systematic arrests and field investigations, as one of the most prominent fixed policies, which escalated in an unprecedented manner after the war of extermination, not only in terms of the number of detainees, but also in terms of the level of crimes committed by the occupation.
