Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has reportedly directed Israeli occupation's Prison Service Commissioner, Katy Perry, to prepare for the incarceration of alleged Palestinian Resistance fighters detained during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The proposed location is an infrequently used underground wing of the "Nitzan prison" in the central city of "Ramle", as per Israeli media reports.

According to Ynet, approximately 100 Palestinians could be placed in the underground wing, as per assessments.

On October 17, Perry stated that "Israel" was detaining around 118 "unlawful combatants" from Gaza, referring to Palestinian fighters. However, more recent figures have not been disclosed.

Commenting on this issue, Ben-Gvir, overseeing the prison service through his office, stated, "Our current approach is to provide minimal conditions for these atrocious murderers."

Simulatnoulsy, the Chairman of the EuroMed Human Rights Monitor Rami Abdu also reported mass executions for dozens of Palestinian men in Northern Gaza.

WAFA news agency reported last Sunday that six Palestinian detainees held in Israeli prisons were tortured to death by the Israeli occupation, citing a statement by the Palestinian Commission for Detainees and ex-Detainees Affairs.

This comes as part of the systematic campaign of assaults against Palestinian detainees and prisoners since October 7.

The six Palestinians who were martyred as a result of Israeli torture are Omar Daraghmeh from Tubas, Arafat Hamdan from Ramallah, Majed Zaqoul from Gaza, Abdel Rahman Marei from Salfit, Thaer Abu Assab from Qalqilya, and a martyr whose identity was not disclosed.

The statement underscored that alongside severe torture, the occupation prison authorities have been cracking down on detained Palestinians by sending them to isolation and preventing them from any form of communication with the outside world, including their family members and lawyers.

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Commission for Detainees and ex-Detainees Affairs recently confirmed that as a result of the most recent arrest campaigns since October 7, the number of newly detained Palestinians exceeded 3,480, adding that among them are 147 women, including those arrested from the occupied 1948 territories and the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, Hamas demonstrated a humane approach when dealing with Israeli captives who are treated with care, receiving provisions such as food and medical treatment. Hamas exhibited kindness and amiability in their interactions with those under their custody.

The world commended the treatment of captives by Hamas and expressed astonishment at how captives bid farewell to Hamas Resistance fighters with clear signs indicating their good health. Videos depict captives waving with smiles, expressing gratitude to the Resistance fighters.
