Around 100 Palestinian prisoners who had been released under the Gaza ceasefire agreement have been rearrested, according to Palestinian organisations, sparking widespread concern among campaigners. Reports indicate that the latest detentions include several individuals from Qalqilya in the West Bank, highlighting what is described as a deliberate effort to target former detainees and keep them under continual threat despite their release.

Observers stress that these actions violate the terms of the ceasefire implemented in October 2025, which facilitated the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for captives. Palestinian advocacy groups warn that the repeated arrests and ongoing surveillance represent a systematic effort to weaken the guarantees of the agreement and exert continued control over communities.

The developments form part of a broader pattern of intimidation, including field interrogations and harassment of families, which campaigners argue undermines not only the ceasefire but also wider prospects for stability. For Palestinian society, the re-arrests reinforce fears that agreements are being steadily eroded amid ongoing military restrictions and operations across the occupied territories.
