Hebrew media revealed that Palestinian prisoners from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which it described as elite fighters, were subjected to torture and abuse in Israeli occupation prisons.

The private Israeli Channel 13 indicated in a report on Sunday that detainees from “elite members of the Hamas-affiliated Al-Qassam Brigades” are suffering severe and difficult procedures and are crowded into very small cells “amid hunger, cold, and hardship.”

According to the television report, “More than 5 prisoners are confined in one very small cell, and the food provided to them is very little.”

There was no comment from the Israeli authorities or Palestinian prisoner institutions on what was broadcast by the Hebrew channel.

Israel claims that it is arresting dozens of members of the elite unit of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, who participated in “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” on October 7, 2023, on Israeli settlements and military bases in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip, without the occupation clarifying the number of these prisoners or Their place of detention.

The 70-year-old added that he and the detainees were beaten and insulted daily, adding: “We did not drink water inside the prison for 4 days.

As for “K.N,” he said: “They arrested me at the checkpoint and forced me to take off my clothes, and I was severely beaten. We were covering ourselves with blankets filled with water. We were unnaturally cold, and we did not drink water.”

Meanwhile, former detainee “G” indicated that she was arrested at the Salah al-Din road checkpoint during her displacement.

She continued: "They asked me to go to a sand berm. There they put a blindfold on my eyes, searched me with their hands, and asked me about Hamas and the tunnels. Then they moved me to an open place, then they took me to a detention center. They forced me to take off my clothes. There were soldiers watching and making obscene comments." She pointed out that they gave her only home clothes and no underwear to wear.

In response to “daily Israeli attacks against the Palestinian people and their holy sites, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque,” ​​on October 7, 2023, Hamas and other Palestinian factions launched the “Al-Aqsa Flood” attack against Israeli military bases and settlements in the vicinity of Gaza.
