Qusai Rayyan, 29, was shot and arrested by Israeli forces during a raid in Salfit Governorate in the northwestern West Bank on April 15, amid continuing Israeli operations across the territory that authorities say are aimed at addressing security threats.

The Palestinian Ministry of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees Affairs said Rayyan had undergone several surgeries at Beilinson Hospital in northern Israel following the shooting, but remained unconscious and his condition continued to deteriorate.

The ministry said Israeli authorities had informed them that he would be released, though no specific date was immediately provided.

The development was also reported by the Palestinian news agency WAFA.Israeli forces have carried out near-daily raids across the West Bank since the escalation of the Gaza war, conducting arrests and house searches targeting individuals suspected of militant activity or political involvement.

Palestinian officials and human rights groups have raised growing concerns over the treatment of detainees, particularly those injured during arrests and those held without formal charges.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, at least 40 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in the occupied West Bank since January.

Palestinian authorities also say Israeli security forces continue to withhold the bodies of dozens of Palestinians killed during military raids since October 2023, a practice that has drawn criticism from families and legal advocacy groups.

The number of detainees reported to have died in Israeli custody since October 2023 has surpassed 100, according to Palestinian officials. Of those, 84 have been publicly identified, including 50 detainees from Gaza.

The broader issue of detainee treatment remains one of the most sensitive aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly as violence in the West Bank has intensified alongside the war in Gaza.

Neither Israeli military authorities nor prison officials immediately issued public comment on Rayyan’s condition or the reasons for his release.
