<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="649" data-start="279">A total number of 32 detainees, including a child, died in Israeli custody in 2025, bringing the number of prisoners killed since the start of the current phase to more than 100, the Palestinian Information Centre reported, citing a report by rights groups.</p>
<p data-end="649" data-start="279">In a joint report, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners Club and Addameer said dozens of Gaza detainees remain forcibly disappeared, and Israeli authorities are withholding the bodies of 94 prisoners.</p>
<p data-end="957" data-start="651">The report also said testimonies and evidence indicate a deliberate policy of physical and psychological targeting of prisoners, including torture, starvation, denial of treatment and solitary confinement.</p>
<p data-end="1172" data-start="959">The groups recorded about 21,000 arrests in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, since the start of what they describe as genocide, and more than 7,000 arrests this year alone, including 600 children and 200 women.</p>
<p data-end="1414" data-start="1174">According to the report, 49 percent of prisoners are held without charge or trial, including 3,350 administrative detainees and 1,220 classified by Israel as “unlawful combatants”, alongside the continued administrative detention of dozens of children and women.</p>
