The Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, along with the Palestinian Prisoners Club, confirmed the martyrdom of the 32-year-old Palestinian prisoner, Majed Ahmad Zaqoul, from Gaza, while detained in "Ofer" Prison.

They indicated in a joint statement that Zaqoul was arrested on October 7, adding that the Israeli occupation had "concealed the crime of assassinating" the prisoner before Israeli media outlets announced his death.

The statement pointed out that Zaqoul had moved to the occupied West Bank three years ago and had been suffering from cancer. He had been working inside the occupied territories in 1948 for the last six months while his family remained in Gaza.

Not only did the occupation assassinate Zaqoul, but it also "concealed his martyrdom and did not announce it except through its media outlets two days ago," the statement emphasized.

According to the statement, the Israeli occupation announced the death of two laborers, one in the "Ofer" Prison and the other in the "Anatot" camp, without revealing their identities at the time. The statement further underlined that "up until this moment, we have not been able to identify the second martyr announced by the occupation," adding that the case remains "under investigation".

The two Palestinian organizations pointed to the horrific testimonies given by Palestinian laborers who were released several days ago via the "Kerem Shalom" crossing, saying that Zaqoul had "fallen victim to a deliberate assassination, similar to what happened to prisoners Omar Daraghmeh and Arafat Hamdan," who were tortured and abused.

Israeli occupation authorities continue to detain Palestinians who have moved from Gaza to the occupied West Bank, disclosing no numbers or any information about them.

Furthermore, the Israeli occupation conceals everything regarding the prisoners' identities, places of detention, and health conditions, despite numerous demands from relevant institutions over the past period.
