Commission of Detainees Affairs highlights detention conditions of young detainee Nour Khalifa

August 31, 2025

The Commission of Detainees Affairs reported on Sunday the latest details regarding the case of 18-year-old detainee Nour Ahmad Khalifa from Kafr Ni’ma, near Ramallah. The update followed a visit by one of the Commission’s attorneys to Khalifa at Megiddo Prison.

Khalifa was taken into custody on March 4, 2025, after Israeli forces stormed his home late at night, ransacked the property, and assaulted him with batons and firearms. He was handcuffed and transferred to a nearby military site. The next morning, he was moved to Ofer Prison, then subjected to 18 days of interrogation at the Moscobiya center, before being transferred to Megiddo.

Since his arrest, Khalifa has lost more than 15 kilograms, the result of both a health setback and the inadequate quantity and poor quality of food provided to detainees.
He was initially placed under a four-month administrative detention order, which has since been extended. His detention is now scheduled to end on November 4, 2025.
