Hamas militias summoned 65-year-old Salah Abed, father of Palestinian activist Amin Abed, for interrogation in Gaza on February 21, 2026, between 1:45 AM and 4:45 AM UTC, as part of their campaign against activists abroad. Salah Abed refused the summons and did not appear, according to a report by Ihab Hassane on X. Amin Abed, a vocal critic of Hamas, was kidnapped by the group in 2024 and nearly killed during the incident. The family stated that Hamas continues targeting families of Palestinian activists abroad, with this summons directed at Salah Abed in Gaza. The Abed family called on all human rights organizations to intervene and stop Hamas' campaign against them and other voices from Gaza, as posted by Ihab Hassane on X at a timestamp within the reporting window.
