The Palestinian Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) announced that new updates were obtained about the fate of 206 detainees from Gaza, based on responses provided by the Israeli military, Wafa reports.
Some of these responses confirmed the detainees’ locations, while others indicated no information about their status at the time of the response.
These updates are part of a series of responses received since mechanisms were introduced to clarify the fate of Gaza detainees held in Israeli prisons and military facilities, said the prisoners’ institutions.
These mechanisms were established following amendments to Israel’s so-called “Unlawful Combatants Law.” Despite this, hundreds of Gaza detainees remain victims of enforced disappearance, with no information available about their whereabouts or conditions—whether detained or killed.
The institutions noted inconsistencies in the Israeli military’s responses, pointing out that many times, conflicting information was provided about the same detainee.
