Shadi Abu Sido, who spent 20 months in an Israeli prison, was part of a prisoner exchange involving nearly 2,000 individuals as part of a ceasefire agreement facilitated by the US. During his imprisonment, he was misinformed by an Israeli prison officer who claimed that his family had been killed and their home destroyed. This falsehood left him in despair, believing he had lost everything. However, upon his release and return to Gaza, he was greeted by his family, which brought an emotional reunion. The Israeli prison service stated that they operate within the law and are unaware of such incidents occurring. This situation highlights the severe psychological effects of misinformation in conflict zones, particularly on individuals who are already suffering from the trauma of war.
