The US Media Ignores Palestinian Deaths in Israeli Captivity

(October 4, 2025)

There are currently some 3,613 Palestinians under administrative detention in Israeli prisons, according to the July 2025 CDA report, and more than ten thousand Palestinians in Israeli custody (not including those held in military camps) in total. Even Israel’s own military intelligence only identifies a quarter of its detainees from Gaza as “fighters,” while human rights groups and Israeli soldiers have reported even fewer — roughly 15 percent — as Hamas members.

The CDA reports that Tazaz’a was the seventy-sixth identified Palestinian to die in Israeli custody since October 7, 2023.
