After midnight tonight, the General Authority of Civil Affairs informed the Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and the Prisoners' Club of the death of the minor detainee Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmed (17 years old) from the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate, in Megiddo Prison.

In a joint statement, they explained that his martyrdom adds him to the list of dead who have died as a result of the systematic crimes perpetrated by the prison system in an unprecedented manner since the start of the war of extermination on October 7, 2023, with the war on prisoners representing yet another aspect of the genocide.

They said that the minor martyr, Walid Ahmed, was arrested on September 30, 2024, and remains detained to this day. The circumstances of his death have not yet been confirmed.

The Prisoners’ Authority and the Prisoners’ Club explained that the minor Walid is the (63) dead who has been killed since the beginning of the war of extermination, and they are the only ones whose identities are known, including at least (40) from Gaza. Thus, this stage is the bloodiest in the history of the prisoner movement since 1967, and thus the number of dead of the prisoner movement whose identities are known since 1967 rises to (300), noting that there are dozens of dead from Gaza detainees who are subject to enforced disappearance. The number of dead prisoners whose bodies are being held rises to (72), including (61) since the beginning of the war.

They added that the death of the minor detainee, Ahmed, constitutes a new crime in the record of Israeli brutality, which has reached its peak since the start of the war of extermination.

They stressed that the increasing number of victims among prisoners and detainees will take a more dangerous turn as more time passes for the detention of thousands of prisoners and detainees in the occupation's prisons, and as they continue to be exposed to systematic crimes, most notably torture, starvation, assaults of all kinds, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and the deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to their contracting serious and contagious diseases, in addition to the unprecedented policies of theft and deprivation.

They held the occupation fully responsible for his martyrdom.

They renewed their call 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 the human rights system to its fundamental role for which it exists, and put an end to the terrifying state of impotence that it has been afflicted with during the war of extermination, and to end the state of exceptional immunity that the old colonial powers granted to the occupying state of Israel, considering it above accountability, accountability, and punishment.
