BREAKING: ISRAEL TO END 'ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION' FOR ISRAELIS Defence Minister Israel Katz announces that Israel will no longer use administrative detention – detention without trial - but ONLY for Jewish settlers in the West Bank As of November 1, Israel is holding 3,451 suspects without detention. only EIGHT are Jewish. The rest are Palestinian. Palestinians, representing 99.99% of admin detainees, will continue being held without trial, charge, or a time limit. This is a green light for Israeli settlers to carry out violent pogroms against Palestinians in the West Bank, with complete impunity and support of the Government and the IDF. What is this, if not Apartheid and Occupation? 🎥 Saul Staniforth

VIDEO | "Every single detail of your day in [Israeli] detention is torture." Palestinian journalist Mujahid Bani Mufleh was subjected to systematic torture, starvation, and medical neglect while held under Israeli 'administrative detention' without charge. Following his release after months of torture, Mufleh suffered a severe brain hemorrhage just two days later, leaving him in critical condition and forcing surgeons to remove a portion of his skull. The Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) has highlighted his emaciated, pale appearance and critical health complications as part of a wider, deliberate policy of "slow-killing" directed against thousands of Palestinian detainees.

An Israeli court has rejected an appeal by Spanish national Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, keeping them in detention after Israeli forces took them from a Gaza-bound flotilla intercepted at sea in international waters. Their legal team says the pair were forcibly taken from international waters and kidnapped into Israel without legal basis, calling it an unlawful seizure outside Israeli jurisdiction. They argue that the entire detention is illegitimate and should be ended immediately. Lawyers also say the two have been held under harsh conditions, including prolonged interrogations and restricted movement. Abu Keshek has reportedly stopped drinking water while continuing a hunger strike, raising concern over his health in custody. The activists were part of a flotilla attempting to challenge Israel’s blockade on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid. Israeli forces have repeatedly blocked this route in past missions.

🟢 Hamas Co-Founder Hassan Yousef Freed After Over Two Years in Israeli Detention Without Charge Hassan Yousef, 71, a co-founder and senior leader of Hamas in the occupied West Bank, was released by Israeli authorities on Thursday after more than two years held without trial, his son Owais Yousef told AFP. Yousef was freed near the southern West Bank city of Hebron and taken to a hospital in Ramallah, where he resides, after his health deteriorated in custody. AFP footage showed him in a hospital bed with one arm in a sling. “I can’t sleep because of the pain,” he told a well-wisher by phone. He had been held in administrative detention since his arrest near Ramallah in October 2023, part of a massive wave of arbitrary detentions in the West Bank following the start of the war on Gaza. The system allows Israel to hold Palestinians for renewable six-month periods without charge or trial. His detention was renewed five consecutive times. Yousef has spent more than 25 years in Israeli prisons across an estimated 16 arrests, beginning at age 16. He was elected to the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2006 and was exiled to Marj al-Zuhur in southern Lebanon in 1992 alongside other Hamas and Islamic Jihad figures. In a statement, Hamas saluted Yousef as “an inspiring national figure and a symbol of patience and perseverance, who has spent more than twenty years in the occupation’s prisons, during which he remained steadfast in his principles and continued to defend the rights of his people, despite being subjected to isolation, torture, and medical neglect.” The group said the prisoners’ cause “will remain at the top of our priorities until their freedom is secured and the occupation’s prisons are emptied.” Senior Hamas official Basem Naim called Yousef “one of the mountains of Palestine,” writing that “despite spending around 25 years in prison unjustly, most of it under administrative sentences without charges, his will was not broken and his resolve did not weaken.”

⭕️ NEW: Released Palestinian detainees described days of starvation, sleep deprivation, and relentless humiliation inside Israel’s Ofer Prison after arriving at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in interviews filmed and conducted by Mohamed Ahmed for Drop Site News. 🔹“We spent 12 days in prison, but it felt like 12 years,” Nasser Ghaleb Mohammed Al-Haj Ahmad, 35, told Drop Site. He said detainees were denied food, water, sleep, bathrooms, and even the most basic necessities. “If you sleep, you sleep on iron. There is no sleep, no life.” 🔹Jamal Shukri Mohammed Abu Shanab, 68, said detainees spent 10 consecutive days eating nothing but plain yogurt for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He said they were bound, forced onto their stomachs, made to keep their hands on their heads for long periods, and repeatedly jolted awake whenever they tried to sleep. “Humiliation, humiliation,” he said. 🔹The International Committee of the Red Cross, which has been denied access to Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons since October 7, 2023, despite international humanitarian law requiring ICRC access to detainees, said it transferred 13 released Palestinians from the Kerem Abu Salem crossing to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital today. 🔹The organization said it has reunited more than 2,500 released Palestinian detainees with their families since 2023. More than 9,400 Palestinians remain imprisoned by Israel in its torture prisons, including over 3,200 held without charge or trial under administrative detention. Al-Haj Ahmad said prisoners repeatedly asked those being released to deliver one message to Gaza: “Pray for us.”

⭕️ REPORT | Ali al-Samoudi, 59, one of the most prominent Palestinian journalists in the West Bank, was released Thursday after enduring a year in Israel’s torture prisons, without charge or trial, Quds News reported. He said he lost half his body weight—dropping from 120 kg to 60—describing Israeli prisons as a “graveyard for the living.” Al-Samoudi was initially held for 80 hours in a military barracks in Jenin, handcuffed and blindfolded, without water, food, or medicine, before being severely beaten during his transfer to Megiddo prison, where his glasses were broken and his clothes confiscated. He suffered stomach, colon, head, and eye pain, urinary tract infections, and loss of consciousness throughout his detention, according to lawyers. He said to his lawyer: “They informed me that I am being detained because I am a journalist and correspondent for Al Jazeera and Al-Quds newspaper. We will not bring charges against you related to your journalistic work, lest there be an international backlash and scandal for Israel.” The Israeli military initially accused al-Samoudi of transferring funds to the armed resistance group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, but provided no evidence — and military prosecutors never leveled that accusation in court. Al-Samoudi was present at the scene and wounded in May 2022 when an Israeli sniper killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh during a raid on Jenin refugee camp. Another journalist present at Abu Akleh’s killing, Mujahed al-Saadi — a Drop Site News contributor — remains in Israeli detention. In the early hours of September 19, 2024, Israeli special forces broke down his door, beat him with rifle butts and fists, and beat his wife, before dragging him barefoot from his home in front of his three young children. He has had his administrative detention repeatedly extended and has been held at Al-Naqab prison in the Negev desert, notorious for systematic torture, medical neglect, and starvation policies. 🎥 Video by Quds News, translated by Drop Site.

According to Yusuf, if the authorities truly have a case against El-Rufai, the proper legal step is to take him before a court of law rather than keeping him in detention under the guise of an ongoing investigation.

Yesterday, we traveled to one of the main detention centers in Mariona, El Salvador, but unsurprisingly, access was denied. A prison guard confirmed that nobody has been allowed to enter any of the detention centers, not even family members. They also confirmed that detainees are not allowed to make sporadic phone calls to their family members. We also met with victims of human rights abuses, including several men who were detained for over a year under the exception regime, and who still have other family members inside the prisons. They were fishermen, peasants, ordinary and hardworking individuals who were taken by the police and thrown in prison without any proper hearings, access to their lawyers or their families, and who shared with us the torture and inhumane conditions they suffered and witnessed in the different detention centers they were held in. While we formally requested access to CECOT, where ten of our Venezuelan clients are detained, and to the Centro Industrial Penitenciario in Santa Ana, where Kilmar Abrego Garcia is detained, the Salvadorian authorities have not responded to our requests.
