Shehab Wire reported that 46 Syrian prisoners are held in Israeli detention facilities, including detainees housed at the notorious Sde Teiman camp, according to the latest monitoring data compiled by Segel Center. The organization tracks cases of Syrian arrests and detention in Israeli custody, maintaining records on the scale and conditions of confinement.
The Syrian detainees face difficult humanitarian circumstances while held across multiple facilities. Sde Teiman, in particular, has drawn international attention and documentation regarding severe conditions reported at the detention site. Segel Center's findings represent the most recent count of Syrian nationals held under Israeli detention, a figure that reflects ongoing arrests in the conflict.
