The Prisoners' and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs Committee has detailed in a new report all the methods of torture "Israel" utilizes to slowly and painfully kill Palestinian prisoners.

The Prisoners' and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs Commission revealed in a new report based on a visit its lawyer took to the "Gush Etzion" prison a few days ago, that almost 90% of the 105 Palestinian prisoners have been physically assaulted since the moment of detention until arrival at the prison. 

The Committee's lawyer described the catastrophic situation in the prison, emphasizing the overcrowded cells that force prisoners to sleep on the floor, as mattresses, clothing and blankets are unavailable. This is paired with the impossibility of shutting the window, as it is a space in the wall lined with metal bars, keeping the cell piercing cold. When it rains, water seeps into the cells, forming puddles where prisoners sleep. 

The torture tactics Israeli wardens use are further highlighted in the report. Prison wardens bang on the doors in the middle of the night to wake prisoners up and deprive them of sleep, and sometimes go as far as to force them out onto prison grounds, line them up, and keep them on foot for no reason. It is worth noting that no consideration for medical cases among prisoners is taken, as they are deliberately neglected. The report indicated that these are methods "Israel" uses to inflict slow and torturous deaths on Palestinian prisoners.

The cases have been taken to new extremes since October 7 and the launch of the bloodthirsty Israeli genocide in Gaza. Israeli forces have deliberately disallowed the entrance of medication or conduction of medical tests or treatments as a form of punishment.

Eight martyrs in Israeli prisons 

Earlier in February, The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Committee and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club confirmed the martyrdom of prisoner Muhammad al-Sabbar, the eighth Palestinian to die in Israeli prisons since October 7.

The Committee and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society confirmed that Muhammad Ahmad Ratib Al-Sabbar, a 21-year-old from Al-Dhaheriya, Al-Khalil, was martyred in the Israeli “Ofer” prison.

Al-Sabbar had been detained since May 2022 and has been deprived of medical treatment in the Israeli prison as he was suffering from health issues related to the stomach and intestines which required him to need treatment and specific dietary needs.

A statement by both committees indicated that although he was arrested nearly 2 years ago, the brutality of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) was multiplied after October 7 and Al-Sabbar was denied basic treatment.
