Israel Held 82-year-old Gaza Woman With Alzheimer's for Two Months as an 'Unlawful Combatant'

Israeli soldiers arrested Fahamiya Khalidi in early December at a school in Gaza after she fled her home due to IDF shelling. She was moved to Damon prison, where she was refused a meeting with an attorney and was only freed after an appeal.

The Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Prison Authority arrested and imprisoned for almost two months an 82-year-old Gaza woman who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. She was jailed under the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants Law. Because she was considered an unlawful combatant, Damon Prison in Israel's north also refused a request by a lawyer from the Israeli organization Physicians for Human Rights to meet with her.

She was released 2 weeks ago after HR groups filed complaints on her behalf.
