Israel has acknowledged, nearly two years after the event, that Ihab Mohammed Abdel Qader Diab, a 36-year-old Palestinian detainee from Gaza, died while in its custody, according to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs. The commission believes Diab, who was detained in December 2023, died around September 2024 following roughly nine months of custody it alleges involved torture, while Israeli authorities attributed his death to an underlying health condition — a claim his family flatly rejects, saying he was in good health at the time of his arrest. His death brings the total number of Palestinians who have died in Israeli detention since 1967 to 328, including 91 since October 7, 2023, prompting Gaza's Prisoners' Ministry to call for an international investigation and the disclosure of the fate of all Gaza detainees it says Israel continues to conceal.
