Several institutions for prisoners in Palestine announced the martyrdom of prisoner Muhammad Hussein Muhammad Gawadra (63 years old), from the town of Burqin, the occupied Jenin district, in the occupation prisons today.
The occupation forces arrested the martyr Gawadra in 2024, and since then he has been detained in Janot Prison (formerly Nafha Raymond). The martyr was arrested in harsh conditions during which he was deprived of the necessary medical care and treatment despite suffering from chronic diseases.
The martyr Gawadra is the father of the administrative detainee, Sami, and the father of the freed prisoner deported to Egypt, Shadi, who was liberated as part of the Flood of Freedmen deal that took place at the beginning of this year.
Prisoners’ institutions confirmed that the martyrdom of prisoner Muhammad Gawadra comes in light of the continued systematic incitement led by the occupation authorities, represented by Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who seeks to pass a law to execute prisoners, and brags about his crimes against them, at a time when Palestinian prisoners are exposed to one of the most severe aspects of the comprehensive and ongoing war of extermination inside the occupation prisons.
Increasing attacks
The Prisoners’ Club, the Prisoners’ Affairs Authority, and the Prisoners’ Information Office pointed out that after the ceasefire agreement, the occupation prison administration escalated its crimes and violations, as the testimonies and statements of released prisoners constituted conclusive evidence of complex crimes of torture and field executions inside prisons, which was clearly reflected in the bodies of the martyrs who were delivered within the framework of the agreement.
With the martyrdom of the detainee Muhammad Gawadra, the number of martyrs of the captive movement since the beginning of the genocide war has risen to 81 martyrs whose identities have been identified, in light of the continuing crime of enforced disappearance that affects dozens of detainees.
The number of prisoners whose bodies the occupation is holding before and after the war has risen to 89 bodies, including 78 after the war of extermination on Gaza.
A few days ago, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a decision to continue preventing the International Red Cross from visiting Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons.
Official Palestinian statistics indicate that Israel is detaining 9,100 Palestinians in its prisons, including 400 children and 49 women.
Hamas mourns
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) mourned the captive martyr, Muhammad Hussein Gawadra, and said in a statement that this is “a new crime added to the record of black crimes committed by the occupation against our prisoners, in light of deliberate medical neglect, torture, and brutal treatment.”
The movement also warned of “the danger of the criminal occupation approach” and called on the Palestinians “to intensify every possible effort to defend our brave prisoners and to triumph over their oppression until they gain their freedom.”
It also called on international and human rights institutions to assume their responsibilities in confronting “these ongoing violations, and to work to prosecute and hold the occupation accountable for its crimes and brutality.”
