On Palestinian Prisoners’ Day
Announcement of the Martyrdom of Detainee Musab Hassan Adaili from Nablus in Israeli Prisons
April 17, 2025

Ramallah – The Civil Affairs Authority informed the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club of the martyrdom of detainee Musab Hassan Adaili (20 years old) from Nablus, who died last night at Soroka Hospital. He had been imprisoned since March 22, 2024, and was serving a sentence of one year and one month. He now joins the list of martyrs from the prisoners’ movement, who have perished as a result of the systematic crimes committed by the Israeli prison system—crimes that have reached unprecedented levels since the beginning of the ongoing genocide.

According to the Commission and the Prisoners’ Club, with the martyrdom of detainee Adaili, the number of prisoner martyrs since the start of the genocide rises to 64, whose identities are known despite the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance. Among them, at least 40 are from Gaza. This period is now considered the bloodiest in the history of the prisoners' movement and our people. Accordingly, the total number of identified prisoner martyrs since 1967 has reached 301, while the number of prisoner martyrs whose bodies are being withheld by Israel has reached 73, including 62 since the genocide began.

The Commission and the Prisoners’ Club added that the martyrdom of detainee Adaili on Palestinian Prisoners’ Day represents a new crime in the record of Israeli brutality, which has employed all forms of abuse to deliberately kill prisoners—making these crimes another face of the ongoing genocide.

They emphasized that the escalating pace of prisoner deaths poses even greater danger as more time passes with thousands of detainees held in Israeli prisons, continuously exposed to systematic crimes, most notably:

• Torture

• Starvation

• All forms of physical assaults

• Medical neglect and abuse

• Sexual violence

• Deliberate exposure to serious and contagious diseases, especially scabies

This is in addition to unprecedented levels of deprivation and denial policies.

The Commission and the Club held Israel fully responsible for Adaili’s martyrdom and renewed their call on the international human rights system to take concrete actions to hold Israeli leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against the Palestinian people. They urged for the imposition of sanctions that would isolate Israel internationally and restore the core purpose of the global human rights system, putting an end to the paralyzing inaction that has plagued it during this genocidal war. They also called for an end to the extraordinary impunity Israel enjoys, which allows it to operate above accountability, scrutiny, and justice.
