Osaid Mahfouz was arrested at dawn on December 19, 2024, after Israeli occupation forces besieged his home in Askar Camp. According to his father, Mr. Khalil Mahfouz, the family woke up to the sounds of soldiers violently knocking on the door. They opened it immediately for fear of a break-in. The soldiers raided the rooms, woke all family members, then entered Osaid’s room, who was awake at the time, and took him to the living room. They took his ID and informed the family of the arrest. The family told the soldiers that Osaid was receiving treatment for a serious injury, but they refused to allow him to take his medication. After about an hour of searching, the occupation forces took him to the military jeeps parked outside the house without restraining him.
