🔴 Israel has acknowledged nearly two years late that Palestinian prisoner Ehab Mohammed Abdel Qader Diab, 36, died in its custody, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Commission said on Sunday. ➤ Diab was detained on December 12, 2023. The commission believes he died on September 18, 2024, after roughly nine months of torture in Israeli custody. ➤ Israel claimed Diab had a health condition. His family rejects that completely, saying he was healthy and had no illnesses when detained. ➤ His death raises the number of Palestinian prisoners who have died in Israeli custody since 1967 to 328, including 91 since October 7, 2023. Fifty-three of the 91 were from Gaza. ➤ Gaza’s Prisoners Ministry held Israel’s government and prison administration fully responsible, citing evidence of torture, medical neglect and brutal conditions. It demanded an international investigation, accountability, return of Diab’s body to his family and disclosure of all Gaza detainees whose fates Israel is concealing.

Can’t believe this day has came, but our superstar Aviel is drafting to the Israel Defense Forces! All I keep thinking is how, as a kid growing up in NY, never in a million dreams did I imagine this moment. Like most things in Israeli life, the emotions are mixed. On the one hand, I hate that our enemies won’t leave us alone. I hate that we even need an army. I can forgive them for fighting us but I’ll never forgive them for making our children fight. On the other hand, I could not possibly be any prouder of Aviel, everything he has accomplished, and everything he is about to accomplish. He knows well what is on his shoulders from this day forward and he also knows what a privilege it is to defend his people, something his great-grandmother in Auschwitz could only dream of. Aviel has spent the last two years preparing his body and soul for for this moment. Aviel comes from a family of heroes and he is no different. He worked hard to get to where he is going in the IDF, and we know, beyond any shadow of a doubt that he will excel like he always does. Hashem, watch over Aviel and please bring him home healthy! Aviel; make us proud! Follow in the footsteps of those who came before you and go serve your country to the best of your ability! “He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea. May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor. May He lead our enemies under our soldiers’ sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is the Lord your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.” Aviel, you got this!! 🇮🇱✡️💪❤️🙏

Armed Israeli settlers beat a Palestinian with the help of an Israeli soldier accompanying them, while besieging a mosque east of the town of Idhna, west of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank. The settlers were seen chasing the Palestinian and beating him before pinning him to the ground, when the soldier approached and pinned the Palestinian down to allow the settlers to continue assaulting him.
