Gaza, SANA – The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner society (PPS) said “They, as Palestinian authorities specialized in prisoners’ affairs, have no confirmation of the news regarding the death of the detainee, Dr. Iyad Ahmed Muhammad al-Rantisi, 53, from Gaza.”
WAFA quoted them as saying “Also, his family has not been informed until today about the fate of their son, who has been detained since November 10, 2023.”
