GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), The Asra Media Office (AMO) has accused the Israeli prison service of maintaining secrecy over the true number of Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Friday, AMO revealed that official Israeli records acknowledge only 1,468 Gaza prisoners, with 1,316 designated as “unlawful combatants.”
However, these figures fail to reflect the true numbers of the detainees, according to the office.
AMO said that 52 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli custody with their identities confirmed, while an additional 360 bodies were returned without identification records.
AMO added that only the remains of Gaza detainee Ismail Khader were formally handed over to his family.
AMO highlighted mounting concerns over Gaza prisoners, saying that 80 detainees are serving sentences handed down before the war, while 43 others remain in custody despite completing their terms.
