It emphasized that what has been reported from Zuwahra’s testimony represents only a portion of what he endured, as it only includes what was permitted to be made public. The testimony contains other extremely harsh and shocking details, confirming that the prison guards deliberately attempted to kill him by firing rubber-coated bullets at him directly and repeatedly after he was transferred to Nafha Prison.
The PPS noted that Zuwahra was recently transferred back to Ganot Prison, and that he is a former prisoner who has spent a total of 17 years in Israeli prisons, seven of which were under actual sentences, while the remainder were spent in administrative detention. He was re-detained by the Israeli occupation forces in February 2025 and placed under administrative detention.
Zuwahra is the brother of the slain Palestinian Mu’taz Zuwahra, while another brother, Mohammad Zawahra, has also previously been detained. He is married and a father of four, and lost his father on the second day of his most recent detention.
