Muataz al-Atrash, a 21-year-old who had no prior suspicions against him, died in Israeli custody. He was arrested at his home in Hebron about a year ago by the military and held without trial. His parents had not heard from him since his arrest until about a month ago, when police informed them of his death without providing further details. The article describes his arrest, where soldiers entered his home and took him away after his parents woke him. He was blindfolded and handcuffed. His family was unaware that he would not be allowed to call home, receive visits from family, or even meet with a lawyer during his detention. They also did not anticipate that they would likely never know what happened to him or receive his body back. The piece attributes this reality to the current Israeli regime and the post-October 7th routine.
