“Neither he nor Rantisi’s family received any information about his fate. …Rantisi was detained at an army checkpoint while attempting to cross from north to south Gaza, following the Israeli military’s orders for the civilian population to evacuate at the beginning of the war. …Rantisi was detained by the military and never heard from since, and that the fact that his whereabouts are unknown made them worried that he died in custody and his body is being held in Israel.”

According to a report from Haaretz, Shin Bet Israeli intelligence officers arrested a doctor in Gaza on Nov. 11, 2023 and interrogated him for suspicion of holding Israeli hostages. Six days following the arrest of 53-year-old Dr. Iyad Rantisi, he was reported dead at the Shin Bet interrogation facility in Shakima Prison.
