Martyrdom of Detainee Due to Wounds from Occupation Gunfire in Hebron

Sada News - The detainee Musab Abdul Moneim Al-Eida was martyred today, Monday, due to the serious wounds he sustained from Israeli occupation gunfire last Thursday in the city of Hebron.

The Palestinian Authority for Civil Affairs reported that it informed the Ministry of Health about the martyrdom of the young Al-Eida (20 years old) who succumbed to serious injuries inflicted by occupation gunfire last Thursday in the Tel Rumeida area in the center of Hebron.

Occupation forces stationed at the military checkpoint in the Tel Rumeida area fired live ammunition at young Al-Eida, inflicting serious injuries before arresting him while he was wounded.

The Palestinian Prisoners and Released Prisoners Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner Club stated that the Palestinian Authority for Civil Affairs informed them of the martyrdom of the wounded detainee Musab Al-Eida from Hebron at the Israeli "Shaare Zedek" hospital, and the hospital administration also notified his family, following days of his injury from occupation forces' gunfire in the Tel Rumeida area in Hebron and his subsequent arrest, during which a detention extension session was held for him yesterday at "Ofer," despite his severe injuries.

The two institutions clarified in a joint statement that martyr Al-Eida was subjected to a crime of gunfire by occupation forces last Thursday, August 21, 2025, with the intent of executing him in the field, as has happened with many martyrs, only to later reveal that he was detained and held in "Shaare Zedek" hospital.

They added that the crime of martyring detainee Al-Eida adds to the record of the Israeli system of brutality that has practiced, and continues to practice, all forms of crimes, foremost among them field executions that have peaked with the ongoing genocide for nearly two years.

The statement emphasized that the unprecedented rise in the martyrdom of prisoners and detainees within the framework of the ongoing genocide confirms once again that the occupation system is continuing its brutality and targeting the Palestinian existence through all policies, methods, and tools, primarily the prison system, which has utilized everything it has to kill dozens of prisoners and detainees, with no month passing without a new name being added to the list of martyrs of the prisoner movement.

The statement further noted that with the continuation of crimes inside prisons, the number of martyrs is certainly expected to rise given the detention of thousands of prisoners and detainees under conditions lacking the most basic elements of life, exposing them daily to systematic crimes, most notably: torture, starvation, various forms of assaults, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and imposing conditions that deliberately lead to them contracting serious and infectious diseases, most notably scabies, in addition to unprecedented policies of theft and deprivation.

With the martyrdom of the wounded detainee Al-Eida, the number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees since the onset of the genocide has risen to (77) martyrs, only those whose identities are known amid the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance. This phase in the history of the prisoner movement and our Palestinian people is the bloodiest, with the number of documented martyrs' identities from the prisoner movement since 1967 until today reaching (314) martyrs, according to official data issued by human rights institutions. Thus, the number of the bodies of martyr prisoners held by the occupation has reached (85), of which (74) have been since the beginning of the genocide.

The Prisoners Commission and the Prisoner Club held the occupation authorities fully responsible for the martyrdom of detainee Al-Eida, and reiterated their demands to the international human rights system for the necessity of taking effective decisions to hold the leaders of the occupation accountable for the war crimes committed against our people, and to impose clear sanctions that isolate the occupation internationally, restore the human rights system to its fundamental role for which it was established, and put an end to the terrifying state of paralysis it has suffered during the genocide, and to end the exceptional immunity that the occupation still enjoys as if it were above the law and accountability.
