The Israeli occupation has released thousands of Palestinian workers after detaining them for 25 days and subjecting them to physical assault.

One of the several thousand Gazan workers arrested by the Israeli occupation on October 7 said that the occupation's military had detained workers and transferred them to the "Ofer" prison.

The freed worker is among many Palestinians who had acquired permits allowing them to cross through Israeli Israeli-controlled "Erez" crossing in the northern Gaza Strip. Reports confirmed that "Israel" had detained the workers on the first day of the confrontation and transferred them to secret camps.

He also confirmed that they were held captive for 25 consecutive days and that the occupation had seized all the money they had on them, and revealed that occupation forces brutally assaulted them, subjecting them to humiliating physical and verbal abuse.

Israeli Galgalatz Radio claimed that a settlement had been reached for the release of the detained workers. The workers were first transferred to the Karam Abu Salem commercial crossing.

It was also revealed that the occupation had released nearly 7,000 Palestinian workers on Friday. GLZ Radio had also said that the workers had legal permits, which points to the illegality of their detainment.

This coincides with a fierce and indiscriminate bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip which has killed over 9,000 Palestinians most of whom are women and children.

In detail, the occupation's bombs and shells have killed 9,061 Palestinians, including 3,760 children and 2,326 women.

"Israel" has also deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure, educational facilities, hospitals, medical centers, ambulances, water filtration systems, churches, and mosques. The occupation is committing genocide on Palestinians from Gaza by destroying civilian infrastructure, making several basic services unavailable, and attempting to erase their cultural presence.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA):

  • At least 45% of Gaza’s housing units were reportedly destroyed or damaged
