Israel releases names of 60 detained Palestinians from Gaza, prisoners’ groups say

The Israeli army has released the names of more than 60 Palestinians from Gaza who are held in Israeli prisons and camps, according to a joint statement by the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, Al Jazeera reports.

The development comes after changes to Israel’s “Unlawful Combatant” law, the prisoners’ groups said on Telegram.

The statement said Israel still “deliberately” issues contradictory information and continues to commit “enforced disappearances” against Palestinians from Gaza.

As of April, Israel classifies at least 1,747 Gaza detainees as “unlawful combatants”, it said.
