The Hamas movement said that the ongoing violations against Palestinian detainees demand immediate action from the United Nations, the international community, and human rights and humanitarian organizations. They called for an end to the war crimes being committed by the occupation and for those responsible to be held accountable.

In a statement, the Hamas movement condemned the ongoing horrific violations against the courageous Palestinian detainees, labeling them as war crimes and crimes against humanity. The movement highlighted that several detainees were transferred directly from the occupation’s prisons to hospitals to receive medical treatment for the abuse and torture they endured.

Issa Al-Darabi, a prisoner released from Ramon prison, shared with Al Mayadeen the suffering of Palestinian detainees inside Israeli jails. He revealed that the Israeli occupation was employing a policy of systematic starvation against the detainees, while its soldiers continued their daily lives as though they were in their own homes.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society also condemned the occupation for practicing organized terrorism against the released detainees, highlighting its efforts to prevent their families from organizing any reception or welcoming events for them.

In parallel, the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate reported that 10 released detainees were transferred to hospitals due to their critical health conditions resulting from the abuse they endured during their detention.

The released detainees were transferred to the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, to undergo medical examinations following their release.

On his part, Ahmad al-Qudra, Director of the Prisoners Information Office, affirmed that the Al-Aqsa Flood deal is ongoing and that the Resistance’s determination will not waver until all prisoners and detainees are freed from the occupation’s prisons.

In a press statement, al-Qudra stated that the issue of prisoners has now become an integral part of the broader liberation struggle, which the Palestinian people continue to shape through their steadfastness.

He emphasized that “the heroic prisoners are crafting a saga of resilience in the face of the occupation, while the Resistance remains steadfast in its national and humanitarian duty toward them.”

The Director of the Prisoners Information Office saluted "the heroes of the Resistance who have honored their pledge and made sacrifices to secure the return of the prisoners to their homes, as well as the steadfast people of Gaza, who have embraced the Resistance and made tremendous sacrifices."
