RAMALLAH, January 29, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported that, in addition to the 1,886 Palestinians classified as "illegal combatants" by the Israeli prison administration, hundreds continue to fall victim to the crime of enforced disappearance.

The Commission and PPS said the only available information regarding the number of detainees from Gaza, as acknowledged by the Israeli prison administration in early January 2025, indicates that there are 1,886 Palestinians classified as "illegal combatants," including women and children. Additionally, hundreds remain victims of the crime of enforced disappearance.

To be noted, the number of detainees from Gaza is estimated to be in the thousands following the Israeli genocidal war, as the occupation continues to carry out systematic torture against Gaza's detainees at an unprecedented level, resulting in the killing of dozens of detainees.

The Commission and PPS published a list of 69 detainees from the Gaza Strip, who were detained after October 7, 2023, and are held in Israeli prisons and military camps.

In a joint statement, they clarified that the list includes the locations of detainees within Israeli prisons and camps. Many detainees remain unaccounted for, with no information regarding their whereabouts.

Efforts will continue to verify their status a month after the last response, which, according to the Israeli army, stated that no information was available regarding their fate.
