The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club reported, in a joint statement, that they received a response from the Israeli authorities stating that "prisoner Amr Odeh (33 years old) from Gaza, who was martyred on December 13, 2023, at the notorious Sde Teiman camp, was martyred."
They added that Hatem Odeh "was arrested with his family from their home during the ground invasion of Gaza in December 2023."
With Awda's martyrdom, the number of prisoners killed in Israeli jails since the start of the genocide has risen to at least 70, including 44 detainees from Gaza, the only ones whose identities are known, according to the statement.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a war of genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The genocide left more than 175,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that killed many, including children.
