Occupation transfers the wounded Khalid Al-Fasfous to administrative detention and continues to hold him in "Soroka" hospital

SadaNews - The Israeli occupation authorities issued an administrative detention order against the injured detainee Khalid Muhammad Al-Fasfous (37 years old) from Dura/Al-Khalil city, for a duration of six months, noting that he is a former prisoner who has been repeatedly arrested, spending most of the years in occupation prisons under administrative detention.

The Palestinian Authority for Prisoners and Released Prisoners and the Palestinian Prisoner Club stated in a joint statement that the occupation forces fired upon detainee Al-Fasfous at the moment of storming his home and arresting him on 15/1/2026, mistreating him, which resulted in him being shot twice in his legs, before he was transferred to the Israeli "Soroka" hospital, where he remains detained. It is worth mentioning that he is married and a father of three children and is awaiting his fourth child.

The two institutions added that there was an attempt to visit the detainee Al-Fasfous in the hospital, but the visit did not take place after the lawyer was informed that he had contracted a "virus" and was placed in isolation, amid a lack of clear information about his health status and detention conditions.

It is noted that detainee Al-Fasfous comes from a family whose members have faced repeated arrests over the years, as all his brothers have been arrested, including his brother Hassan Al-Fasfous who has been under administrative detention until today for more than a year.

The Authority and the Club asserted that the transfer of detainee Al-Fasfous to administrative detention constitutes a compounded crime, starting with him being shot and injured, and not ending with his later transfer to arbitrary administrative detention.

This comes in the context of a systematic policy affecting thousands of administrative detainees in occupation prisons, as their number reached (3385) detainees by the beginning of January, including women and children, accounting for about 36% of the total number of prisoners, in an unprecedented historical escalation not seen in previous stages that preceded the crime of genocide.

In this context, the Authority for Prisoners and the Prisoner Club held the occupation authorities fully responsible for the fate of detainee Al-Fasfous, and for the lives of thousands of prisoners and detainees who face organized crimes, dominated by policies of systematic torture, starvation, deprivation of medical care, and detention under harsh conditions that undermine human dignity, which have led to the martyrdom of more than a hundred prisoners and detainees since the onset of the genocide.
