The General Authority for Civil Affairs, the Authority of Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Affairs, and the Palestinian Prisoners Club were informed of the death  of prisoner Raafat Adnan Abdul Aziz Abu Fanouneh (34 years old) from Gaza, today, Wednesday, in Ramla Prison.

Al-Haya and the club said that the martyr Abu Funouneh has been detained since October 7, along with his brother Shadi, and that he was injured during his detention. During this entire period, the occupation did not disclose details about his fate or allow visits to him.

According to available data, the detainee Abu Fanouneh remained in Ramla prison and was recently transferred to Assaf Harofeh Hospital, until his martyrdom was announced today. It is worth noting that before his arrest and injury he did not suffer from health problems. It is also noted that he is married and has a child.

They explained that with the death of the prisoner Abu Fanouneh, the number of martyrs among the prisoners and detainees in the occupation prisons since the beginning of the war of extermination has risen to 60 martyrs, and they are the only ones whose identities are known, and among them are at least 39 from Gaza, and this number is the highest historically, so that this stage is the bloodiest stage in the history of the prisoner movement since 1967, so that the number of dead of the prisoner movement whose identities are known since 1967 has risen to 297, noting that there are dozens of dead from the Gaza detainees who are subject to enforced disappearance.

She added that the case of the martyrdom of the detainee Abu Funouneh constitutes a new crime in the record of the Israeli system of brutality, which has reached its peak since the beginning of the war of extermination.

They continued, saying that the occupation is not satisfied with killing the detainees, but rather deliberately does not reveal their fate and manipulates the responses, and this has happened many times, so we confirm that all the responses related to the martyrs are responses from the occupation army and there is no other evidence of their martyrdom, since the occupation continues to detain their bodies, and in most of the responses it indicates that an investigation is underway in an attempt to evade any international accountability.

They also stressed that what is happening to the detainees is just another aspect of the war of extermination, and its goal is to carry out more executions and assassinations against prisoners and detainees.

The Commission and the Club stressed that the rate of increasing numbers of dead among prisoners and detainees will take a more dangerous turn as more time passes on the detention of thousands of prisoners and detainees in the occupation prisons, and their continued exposure to systematic crimes, most notably torture, starvation, assaults in all their forms, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and the deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to their contracting serious and contagious diseases, in addition to the policies of theft and deprivation - unprecedented in their level.

They held the occupation fully responsible for the death of the detainee Abu Funouneh, and renewed their demand for the international human rights system to move forward in taking effective decisions to hold the occupation leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against our people, and to impose sanctions on the occupation that would place it in a state of clear international isolation, and restore to the human rights system its fundamental role for which it was created, and put an end to the terrifying state of helplessness that it suffered during the war of extermination, and end the state of exceptional immunity that the old colonial states granted to the occupying state of Israel as it is above accountability, accountability and punishment.
