RAMALLAH, October 21, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoners'  Society (PPS) said that the number of Palestinian prisoners who died inside Israeli custody and detainees whose identities have been confirmed since the beginning of Israel's war on Gaza has surged to 80, including at least 47 from Gaza, following the death of detainee Kamel al-Ajrami from Gaza on Monday.

In a statement, the PPS affirmed that the number of confirmed Palestinian prisoners since 1967 has risen to 317. This figure is what institutions have been able to document over decades. It added that amid the genocide, dozens of detainees, especially from Gaza, have reportedly been executed in the field immediately after arrest.   

It affirmed that Israel continues to withhold the bodies of 88 prisoners, including 77 since the start of the war, while dozens from Gaza detainees remain forcibly disappeared.

The PPS noted that the prisoner movement has never witnessed such a bloody period in its history since the outbreak of the war. This is a result of the systematic killings perpetrated by the prison system against Palestinian prisoners, while extremist Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir continues his calls to pass a law authorizing the execution of prisoners.
