RAMALLAH, May 22, 2025 (WAFA) –The Commission of Detainees' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner's Scoeity (PPS) confirmed the death of detainee Amr Hatem Odeh, 33, from Gaza, on December 13, 2023, at the Sde Teiman camp.

The two organizations stated in a joint statement today that the Sde Teiman camp was the most prominent site for torture crimes against Gaza detainees after the genocide, in addition to a series of crimes and atrocities documented by institutions and reflected in the testimonies of released detainees, whose bodies, on the other hand, are living testimonies of those crimes.

The Commission and the PPS noted that detainee Odeh was detained, along with his family, from their home at the beginning of the ground invasion of Gaza, on December 7, 2023.

It should be noted that the Odeh was married and had three children.

They added that with Odeh's death, the number of slain prisoners killed since the genocide rises to at least 70, including 44 detainees from Gaza, whose identities are known only.

Meanwhile, the number of slain prisoners documented by institutions since 1967 has risen to 307, whose identities are also known. This constitutes the bloodiest phase in the history of the prisoners.

The Commission and the PPS explained that the responses received by the institutions from the occupation army remain limited to the army's narrative and the notifications received by the institutions, in light of the continued detention of the slain prisoners' bodies and the failure to disclose the circumstances of their martyrdom.

It is worth noting that the occupation has repeatedly attempted to manipulate these responses by giving the institutions different answers, and some institutions have even gone to court to obtain a response that would resolve the fate of the detainee.

The two organizations emphasized that torture crimes were the main reason for the killing of the vast majority of martyrs after the genocide, in addition to medical crimes, starvation crimes, and rape crimes.
