Hisham al-Sayed (Hebrew: הישאם א-סייד; Arabic: هشام السيد, born February 15, 1988) is a Bedouin Arab Israeli civilian who has been captured by Hamas in the Gaza Strip since 2015. Hamas has claimed Al-Sayed is an Israeli soldier but Human Rights Watch has confirmed he is a civilian exempted from military service.
On 28 June 2022, Hamas released a video showing a sickly Al-Sayed in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask and an IV drip. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett condemned Hamas: "Spreading the clip of a sick man is despicable and an act of desperation."
Biography
Hisham al-Sayed was born in 1988 in Al-Sayyid to Manal Al-Sayed and Sha’ban Al-Sayed. He has a mental health condition, loss of hearing, tinnitus and vertigo.
In 2005 he was sent to study in Cyprus, and in 2010 studied in London. In 2010 he was diagnosed with "acute psychotic disorder" and in 2013 with schizophrenia.
Al-Sayed suffered from auditory hallucinations, and took orders from a voice in his head. He entered the West Bank on at least 15 occasions, and was detained by Palestinian Preventative Security at least 3 of those times.
On August 18, 2008, he volunteered for military service, but was discharged less than three months later on November 6, after being identified as "incompatible for service."
