The Israeli occupation released on Sunday 20 Palestinian prisoners through the Karem Abu Salem crossing, located in the far southeast of the Gaza Strip. The prisoners had been detained during an Israeli incursion in northern Gaza that began on October 5.

A Palestinian security source confirmed to Anadolu Agency that the freed prisoners were transported to the European Gaza Hospital, east of Khan Younis, for medical evaluations.

"20 Palestinians arrived at the hospital after being released by the Israeli army at the Karem Abu Salem crossing," the source stated.

The released individuals reported experiencing torture while in Israeli custody. Medical teams are currently conducting thorough examinations to assess their health conditions.

Detainee deaths rise

On December 1st, Palestinian rights groups announced the deaths of two Gaza detainees, Mohammad Abdul-Rahman Huwaishal Idris (35) and Muath Khaled Mohammad Rayan (31), bringing the total number of martyrs from the Captive Movement to 47 since the war on Gaza began.

Idris, who had no known health issues, died in Ofer Prison, while paralyzed detainee Rayan's death was confirmed by Israeli authorities without disclosing the location. The statement also noted earlier deaths of Munir and Yassin al-Faqawi, a father and son, amid accusations that Israel is concealing other detainee deaths.

Rights groups condemned the systematic abuse of Palestinian detainees, including torture, medical neglect, and other violations, and called for international action to address the humanitarian crisis.
