Amnesty International calls for an urgent probe into Israel’s “enforced disappearance” of Palestinian detainees from Gaza, following reports of deaths in military detention centers.
Hundreds of Palestinians are being held in detention centers in southern Israel, having been arrested in military operations across the Gaza Strip since the war with Hamas erupted on October 7.
“The Israeli military must urgently disclose the fate and whereabouts of everyone that it has detained since October 7,” Heba Morayef, Amnesty’s regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, says in a statement.
“Israeli forces must specify the grounds of arrest for those detained and make every effort to provide families of those in its custody with information, particularly in light of the telecommunications blackouts that have cut off Gazans.”
Amnesty demands an investigation into the “inhumane treatment and enforced disappearance” of the detainees from Gaza.
The Israeli army yesterday said it was investigating the deaths of detainees arrested in Gaza. It did not provide details regarding how many detainees had died or the circumstances of their deaths.
