Death toll of Palestinian prisoners and detainees rises to 80 since start of the war in Gaza
The number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees who were identified rose to 80 since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip. There were at least 47 martyrs from Gaza among them.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), citing the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, the total number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees whose identities are known since 1967 has risen to 317. This figure reflects what institutions have been able to document over decades. However, in light of the ongoing war, there is information about dozens of detainees who were executed in the field after being arrested, particularly from Gaza.
The Prisoners' Club also noted that the Israeli occupation continues to withhold the bodies of 88 martyrs from the prisoners' movement, including 77 since the beginning of the war, while dozens of martyrs from among Gaza detainees remain forcibly disappeared.
