The Palestinian Authority’s Prisoners’ Committee has accused the Israeli military of arresting about 100 Gazans, saying it fears the worst for those Palestinians for whom Israel has not released their identities, whereabouts or charges based on which were arrested.

“Israel has not announced how many people it has arrested during its operations in Gaza,” which is being bombarded by the Israeli army in response to the bloody attack by Hamas on October 7, said Kadoura Fares, head of the commission.

“We fear they were killed after being arrested and interrogated“, he continued, noting that “we were informed (by Israel) once during the war about 105 arrestsbut without any details about the fate of these people”.

“The lack of information on the number (of those arrested) and the lack of communication makes us believe that it is possible that Israel has done whatever it wants with them, even killed them,” Fares complained, assuring that he had requested in vain information from the Israeli authorities.

Asked by AFP, the Israeli army replied that it “cannot comment at this stage”.

During the seven weeks of war and the four days of ceasefire “Israeli forces have arrested people” walking south on Salahuddin Road. This road is the only one through which Israel allows Gazans to move to the southern part of the Palestinian enclave, as the Israeli army has asked them to move away from the north, he said. UN.

Displaced Palestinians have complained to the UN that the Israeli army has set up a checkpoint on this road equipped with facial recognition cameras operated remotely by soldiers.

There the UN has noted that it has seen “separated families” passing through. At least “one child was forced to go through the checkpoint alone after his father was arrested,” the same source added.

The Red Cross announced on Tuesday that one of its nurses, Ramadan Hosu, originally from Jabalia in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, was arrested on the road leading south.

The Israeli soldiers “said to the one in front of me: ‘turn around and go there.’ Then they also told me to ‘go there’. They interrogated me, stripped us and took us to an army post and then to a chariot. Two soldiers were accompanying me and I was wearing handcuffs,” Hosu said in a video released by the Red Cross.

Sahar Awad, a displaced Gaza resident, told AFP that Israeli soldiers interrogated her son Mohammed at the southern exit of Gaza City on November 12.

“He was released after nine days,” after “being tortured,” he complained.
