Israel classifies 1,846 detainees from Gaza as "unlawful combatants."

The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club issued a new report on Sunday highlighting the conditions of Gaza detainees held in Israeli prisons and camps, based on responses from the Israeli military regarding their detention locations.

The report indicates that many detainees from Gaza continue to suffer from enforced disappearance, with no accurate information available on their numbers or where they are being held. The report confirmed that the Israeli Prison Service classifies 1,846 detainees from Gaza as "illegal combatants," including one known female prisoner, Siham Abu Salem.

The report also documented the deaths of 44 detainees from Gaza during the genocide. These detainees are among a total of 70 prisoners and detainees who have been killed since the start of the war, while the identities of many of the martyred detainees remain unknown due to enforced disappearance.

The report included a list of the names of a number of detainees and their detention centers in prisons such as Ofer, Sde Teiman, Nafha, Negev, and Nitzan Ramla.

In Ofer camp: Ihsan Ihab Mahmoud Shami, Nasr Salman Lama Abu Qaliq, Saed Raafat Qanou, Ramadan Rami Shaaban, and Hussam Jawad Hijazi.

In Sde Timan Prison: Muhammad Sami Abu Al-Anin, Raed Rabhi Deeb Alian, Atiya Muhammad Abd Al-Dayem Ajouri, Ahmad Majid Muhammad Daqs, Mahmoud Muhammad Hussein Sawalha, Mazen Asaad Musa Abu Dan and Bashar Bashir Fathi Suwailem.

In Nafha Prison: Hussam Saleh Ikti' and Ibrahim Zuhair Kafarna. In Negev Prison: Raed Muhsin Mahmoud Abu Mutlaq, Rami Ahmed Ramadan Zaqouq, Muhammad Naji Rabhi Madhoun, Mahmoud Salim Ahmed Issa, and Abdul Hai Jamil al-Kurd. In Nitzan Prison in Ramle: Omar Abdel Jawad Muhammad Hammad.

These names represent a portion of the detainees whose places of detention inside Israeli occupation prisons have been identified.

The report confirms the continued suffering of detainees under harsh detention conditions and emphasizes the importance of international pressure to halt the policy of enforced disappearance and guarantee prisoners' rights in accordance with international law.
