The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society announced the martyrdom of detainee Raed Asaasaa (57 years old) in Israeli occupation prisons.
In a joint statement, the commission and the society explained that "clear information regarding the circumstances of Asaasaa's death is not available, except that he was admitted to one of the occupation’s hospitals on June 9, 2025, and was declared martyred today." It is noted that Israeli forces had arrested him 27 days ago on the grounds of entering the 1948-occupied territories without a permit.
The statement added that with the martyrdom of detainee Asaasaa, the number of prisoners martyred since the onset of the genocide has risen to 72. The occupation continues to conceal the identities of dozens of martyrs among detainees from Gaza, marking this period as the deadliest in the history of the prisoners’ movement. Accordingly, the total number of martyrs from the Palestinian prisoners’ movement with confirmed identities since 1967 has now reached 309.
