A controversial Israeli law permitting the death penalty for detainees is nearing implementation, sparking international backlash and deep fear among Gazan families.

The EU and international rights groups have heavily condemned the legislation as a direct violation of global legal values. Our correspondent Minas Al Jabbour reports from Gaza City.
