Al Jazeera Egypt’s Facebook account posted the video on 12/7/2024, with the following text: “I was glorifying and praising God and I was satisfied.” Released prisoner, Moazaz Obayiat, recounts his suffering due to the lack of food in Israeli prisons.

37-year-old Moazaz Khalil Obayiat, a Palestinian prisoner from “Khalayel Al-Loz” area in the city of Bethlehem, was released by the Israeli occupation forces from the Negev prison on Tuesday 9/7/2024, after spending nine months in administrative detention, and was re-arrested on Wednesday 16/10/2024, three months after his release.

The Association of Detainees and Missing Persons in Sednaya Prison confirmed on 9/12/2024 that the prison was empty of detainees in all its buildings, the white and the red, and added that the last detainee left on 8/12/2024 at 11:00 AM Damascus time. The detainees were released from the prisons of Bashar al-Assad’s regime after the Syrian opposition factions announced their control over all cities and the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s rule following operation “Deterrence of Aggression” which began on 7/12/2024.
