Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: Virtually 1,200 Palestinians face systematic torture, abuse and assault, according to the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Tuesday.
Earlier accounts from the kidnapped Palestinians had detailed horrific incidents that had been normalized in the Israeli jails, including brutal violence, rape, electrocution, extreme hunger, humiliation, and other forms of abuse.
The commission said the Israeli detention camps have become venues for torture operations since October 2023.
Hundreds face torture, and many more rounded up from Gaza have disappeared, Wafa reported.
Israeli forces have kidnapped thousands of Palestinians from Gaza since October, according to reports by the Gaza media office. The exact number of abductees is not available.
Gaza’s media office said the fate of many of the kidnapped Palestinians or their jail conditions remain unknown to their families and friends.
International and local human rights defenders have repeatedly raised the alarm about the “unprecedented difficult conditions” for the Palestinians held by the Israeli regime.
The Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network recently reported that about two-dozen Palestinian women were being held under Israel’s so-called administrative detention in Damon prison.
“At present, 24 Palestinian women out of approximately 95 Palestinian women prisoners, of 9,900 Palestinians in Zionist jails, in addition to thousands more from Gaza held in colonial torture camps like that at Sde Teiman are being imprisoned under administrative detention by the occupation forces in the colonial Damon prison,” Samidoun said./Press TV
