They stated in a statement that the martyrs are Taysir Saeed Al-Abd Sababa (60 years old), who was martyred on December 31, 2024, two months after his arrest, Khamis Shukri Mar’i Ashour (44 years old), who was martyred on February 8, 2024, one day after his arrest, and Khalil Ahmed Khalil Haniyeh (35 years old), who was martyred on December 25, 2024, nearly a year after his arrest.
The statement explained that these cases are part of a continuous series of violations against Palestinian prisoners, noting that the number of martyrs of the prisoner movement since 1967 has risen to 321 martyrs, including 84 since the start of the war of extermination, including 50 detainees from Gaza, with the continued detention and concealment of the bodies of a number of martyrs, and the implementation of field executions against others.
Palestinian institutions held the occupation authorities fully responsible for the martyrdom of the prisoners, calling on the international community and human rights bodies to hold Israel’s leaders accountable for war crimes and systematic violations against prisoners, and to stop impunity.
The statement indicated that the majority of prisoners are detained without trial, including administrative detention, which numbered 3,368 as of November 2025, and the classification of 1,205 detainees as "unlawful combatants," not counting all detainees from Gaza.
This coincides with a report by the Public Defender's Office of the Israeli Ministry of Justice, published on Thursday, which confirmed that Palestinian prisoners have been suffering from severe hunger, overcrowding and a serious deterioration in health conditions since October 2023.
Over the past two years, Physicians for Human Rights in Israel has documented the deaths of at least 98 Palestinians inside Israeli prisons.
Israel’s crimes against prisoners have escalated since the start of the genocidal war that Israel launched on the Gaza Strip, which left more than 70,000 martyrs and about 171,000 wounded, most of them children and women.
