The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) says Israel is intensifying its crackdown on Palestinians who were released earlier this year under previous Gaza ceasefire deals, with a wave of new arrests and interrogations.

The latest case involves Hanan Barghouti, who was detained this morning from her home in the village of Kobar near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

According to the PPS, at least 40 individuals freed in January and February have since been re-arrested, with 16 still in custody — most held under administrative detention, meaning they are imprisoned without charge or trial.

The group described the arrests as part of a systematic policy to keep released prisoners under constant threat, noting that several have been detained and interrogated multiple times.

It added that Israel has “institutionalised” these actions through military orders and legislation, and accused Israeli authorities of engaging in “organised terror” during the releases, including beatings and threats against prisoners and their families.

The death toll in Gaza since dawn has risen to 43, including 18 people shot dead by Israeli forces while waiting for aid in central Gaza.

Gaza’s Health Ministry says 453 people, including 150 children, have died from “famine and malnutrition” since Israel’s war on the enclave began on October 7, 2023.

It was earlier reported that a child had died from starvation in Gaza City, according to al-Shifa Hospital.

At least 30 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn, according to medical sources.

Hospital staff at al-Awda and al-Aqsa have said least 15 of the victims were shot while waiting for aid near a distribution point in central Gaza.

At least 23 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip since dawn, including 21 in Gaza City, according to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera.
