Death of detainee due to wounds from occupation fire in Hebron

SadaNews - The detainee Musab Abdel Moneim Al-Eida died today, Monday, due to serious injuries he sustained from Israeli occupation gunfire last Thursday in the city of Hebron.

The Palestinian Civil Affairs Authority reported that it informed the Ministry of Health about the martyrdom of the young man Al-Eida (20 years old), who was affected by serious wounds he sustained from the occupation's gunfire last Thursday in the Tel Rumeida area in the heart of Hebron.

The occupying forces stationed at the military checkpoint in the Tel Rumeida area fired live ammunition at the young man Al-Eida, causing him severe injuries before arresting him while he was injured.

The Palestinian Prisoners and Released Prisoners Authority, along with the Palestinian Prisoner Club, reported that the Civil Affairs Authority informed them of the death of the injured detainee Musab Al-Eida from Hebron in the "Shaare Zedek" Israeli hospital, and the hospital administration also informed his family about this, after several days of being shot by the occupation forces in the Tel Rumeida area in Hebron and his subsequent arrest, and a detention extension session was held for him yesterday in "Ofer," despite his serious injuries.

The two organizations stated in a joint statement that the martyr Al-Eida was subjected to a crime of gunfire by the occupation forces last Thursday, August 21, 2025, with the intent of executing him on the spot, as happened to many other martyrs, before it became clear later that he was a detainee held in the "Shaare Zedek" hospital.

They added that the crime of martyrdom of the detainee Al-Eida adds to the record of the Israeli brutal system, which has practiced, and continues to practice, all forms of crimes, most notably summary executions that have peaked over nearly two years of ongoing genocide.

The statement emphasized that the escalating rate of martyrdom among prisoners and detainees in the context of the ongoing genocide reaffirms that the occupation regime is continuing in its brutality and targeting the Palestinian existence through all policies, methods, and tools, primarily the prison system that has utilized everything it possesses to kill dozens of prisoners and detainees, as not a month goes by without adding a new name to the list of martyrs of the prisoner movement.

The statement added that with the continuation of the crimes inside the prisons, the number of martyrs is inevitably expected to rise given the detention of thousands of prisoners and detainees in conditions lacking the most basic needs of life, and their daily exposure to systematic crimes, the most notable of which are: torture, starvation, various forms of assaults, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and imposing conditions that deliberately lead to their infection with serious and contagious diseases, most notably scabies, in addition to unprecedented looting and deprivation policies.

With the martyrdom of the injured detainee Al-Eida, the number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees has risen to (77), all of whom are known by their identities amid the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance. This phase in the history of the prisoner movement and our Palestinian people is marked by the most bloodshed, with the number of documented martyrs' identities from the prisoner movement since 1967 to date reaching (314), according to official data issued by human rights organizations. Thus, the number of bodies of martyr prisoners held by the occupation has reached (85), among them (74) since the onset of the genocide.

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