The Israeli occupation has no redlines when it comes to the Palestinian prisoners arrested in the Gaza Strip, the head of the EuroMed human rights organization, Rami Abdo, told Al Mayadeen on Tuesday.

Several prisoners arrested in Gaza died due to the torture and starvation they were subjected to, with at least 1,000 civilian prisoners of war being reported in Gaza.

The Israeli occupation "committed major atrocities against the prisoners," he said, which he highlighted included mutilating their corpses.

The human rights observatory, Abdo added, was trying to gather information about the Israeli occupation's actions through the testimonies of those who had been released.

Both male and female civilians detained in Gaza, the EuroMed chief said, were sexually assaulted. "Israeli brutality reached unprecedented levels, which include electrocution and denuding prisoners."

Even elderly civilians were not exempted, as they were severely tortured and deprived of their medications and painkillers, with many passing away due to the medical neglect they were subjected to, Abdo revealed.

Abuse of prisoners

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Monday that hundreds of Palestinians who were detained in Gaza and taken to the "Sde Teman" base near Beer al-Sabe’ were killed as a result of the harsh detention conditions.

It further stated that "the age group of the Palestinian detainees killed while under investigation ranges from minors to elderly individuals."

The newspaper described how "detainees are locked in fenced areas blindfolded and handcuffed for most of the day, with lights kept on throughout the night.”

Israeli media had broadcast scenes showing dozens of Palestinian detainees stripped naked and blindfolded, which sparked international outrage.

Meanwhile, Palestinians reported that the invading occupation forces detain Palestinians, take them to an unknown destination, and shoot them directly.

‘New Guantanamo’

Commenting on Haaretz’s report, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory announced that the testimonies it collected were consistent with the Israeli outlet’s findings regarding the martyrdom of Palestinian detainees from Gaza due to torture in an Israeli center that the Observatory described as a “new Guantanamo".

Among the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against civilians are forced displacement, field executions, random and arbitrary arrests, and harassment. 

The Observatory also highlighted how detainees were stripped of their clothes, handcuffed, abused, forced to sit on their knees in open areas, and subjected to severe beatings and harassment despite the very cold weather. 

Some detainees were even used by the Israeli army as human shields.

To this end, the Observatory called for "an impartial and urgent international investigation into the Israeli army's field execution of Palestinian civilians after detaining them from various areas across the Gaza Strip."
