US EditionAt Least 98 Palestinians Died in Israeli Prisons in Two Years, Israeli Human Rights Group Finds
- On Monday, Physicians for Human Rights–Israel reported that at least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody over the past two years, based on Freedom of Information requests, autopsies, medical files and testimonies.
- PHRI concluded evidence of torture and medical neglect shows a consistent pattern of brutality, documenting enforced disappearance and delayed autopsies during the October 2023–March 2024 five‑month period when at least 35 detainees died.
- PHRI's facility-by-facility tally shows 46 deaths in Israel Prison Service custody and 52 in military custody, including 29 at Sde Teiman and named victims Dr Adnan al-Bursh and Walid Khalid Ahmad.
- PHRI demanded an independent international investigation, as Abbas stated, `Despite this mass number of deaths, over two years no one has been arrested& There have been no charges over any killing,' and Israeli authorities deny abuses.
- PHRI warns hundreds of unaccounted detainees from Gaza as numbers near nearly 10,000, increasing international scrutiny including Germany's conditional weapons sales and PHRI joining B'Tselem earlier this year.
