The Palestinian Resistance movement, Hamas, described the Israeli occupation's practices in Israeli prisons against Palestinian detainees as an "expression of hatred and sadism".

After video footage showing Israeli occupation soldiers humiliating Palestinian detainees in Megiddo Prison and the use of police dogs to intimidate them was leaked, the Islamic Resistance movement said in a statement on Friday that these practices by the occupation are "an expression of the hatred and sadism levels that the Zionist jailers hold toward Palestinian detainees."

The statement further highlighted that these actions are part of the Israeli occupation's ongoing brutal treatment of Palestinian detainees held in Israeli prisons, which includes torture, mistreatment, starvation, medical neglect, and the deprivation of basic human rights. As a result, the number of Palestinians who have been martyred due to neglect and torture has exceeded sixty.

Hamas called upon international human rights organizations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to document these abuses and other horrific crimes against Palestinian detainees.

They urged these international bodies to take immediate action to pressure the Israeli occupation's government and its leadership to cease their blatant violations of international laws concerning detainees and to hold Israeli occupation leaders accountable for their continuous crimes.

The Palestinian detainees are forced to lie face down on the ground with their hands zip-tied behind their backs as the soldiers move around dogs to terrorize and abuse them.

If inspected closely, many of the detainees seem to be young as the occupation is known for detaining Palestinian youths.
