Inside Israel's mass imprisonment of Palestinians – The New Arab

The situation of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons is very dangerous nowadays. This is the worst time prisoners have seen since Israel occupied the Palestinian territories in 1967,” Muhammad Abdul Samad, a spokesperson of the Palestinian Commission for Detainees and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs, told The New Arab, highlighting how the war on Gaza has dramatically impacted the lives of Palestinian detainees.

"One million Palestinians have passed through Israeli prisons since the occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip in 1967

There's hardly a Palestinian house without a family member in jail or a former prisoner. It affects every Palestinian"

🇵🇸 Israel arrests, tortures Gaza doctors while world watches | Electronic Intifada

We were joined by Tarek Loubani, an emergency room physician based in Canada who has worked for years inside al-Shifa hospital in #GazaCity

He discussed the #abduction and #arrest of some of his colleagues by Israeli forces over the last few weeks, including Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the director of #AlShifa #hospital.

Tarek explained that the Israelis’ intention in taking and arresting these physicians, and subjecting them to physical and psychological torture, is meant to break the back of the #healthcare system even further in #Gaza.

“I don’t think any of them really expected, especially under the flag of the #ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross], for them to be subject to that kind of arrest,” Tarek said.

#AbuSalmiya’s arrest, “is a classic example of how the Israeli system works: it took him in with no charges, for no reason, it’s keeping him for a very specific purpose.”

🇵🇸 “They tortured us, subjected us to electric shocks. We suffered a lot.”

Some 60 Palestinian men detained by Israeli forces returned to Gaza on Monday, entering the territory through the recently opened Kerem Shalom crossing.

All of the men said they were tortured in an unspecified facility in southern Israel. One of the released detainees said that many of them were employees of the Palestinian Authority.

🇵🇸 ‘It’s Bisan From Gaza, And People Were Tortured At The Indonesian Hospital’ | AJ+

Video journalist Bisan Owda brings us exclusive eyewitness testimonies from survivors she spoke to in December who described the Israeli army’s torture and killing of wounded patients and doctors at the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza.

One of northern Gaza’s largest hospitals, the facility was under siege for days in November and may never open again. While some patients in critical condition were allowed to evacuate the hospital, survivors recall torture even on the evacuation route. Israel has targeted more than 150 health care facilities in Gaza since Oct 7. The targeting of hospitals is a violation of international humanitarian law.

Ukraine abandoned secret torture sites in Avdeevka — Moscow

Russian intelligence believes that Kiev authorities maintained secret torture facilities and had a secret mass grave in Avdeevka, a recently abandoned AFU stronghold.

Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s official tasked with keeping an account of Ukraine’s criminal activities, told RIA Novosti that an on-site investigation will be launched, once the area has been sufficiently demined.

🇵🇸 Woman in Gaza tortured and separated from children for 54 days by Israeli forces

Beaten, buried alive and strip-searched by Israeli forces.

Hadeel Yousef Issa al-Dahdouh, from Gaza, describes her treatment during 54 days of Israeli detention, interrogation and torture. Hadeel says Israeli forces took her away from her two young sons – a four-year-old and a breastfeeding nine-month-old.

She says she was put on the back of a military truck with only male detainees. She was then taken to several detention camps inside and outside Gaza and interrogated about the 7 October attack on southern Israel and beaten by Israeli soldiers.

The soldiers told her she would be taken for half an hour, but Hadeel says she was detained for 54 days and away from her children for 80 days.

🇵🇸 Welcome to Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps | B'Tselem

"“Welcome to Hell” is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023.

B’Tselem collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps.

"We were taken to #Megiddo. When we got off the bus, a soldier said to us: "Welcome to hell."

From the testimony of Fouad Hassan 45, from Qusrah in Nablus District"

🇵🇸 Israel is in a death spiral. Who will it take down with it? | J.Cook

Why should it be of any surprise that Israel’s self-proclaimed “most moral army in the world” uses #torture and #rape against Palestinians?

After all, this is the same military that for 10 months has used #starvation as a weapon of war against the 2.3 million people of #Gaza, half of them children.

It is the same military that since October has laid waste to all of Gaza’s hospitals, as well as destroying almost all of its schools and 70 percent of its homes. It is the same military that is known to have killed over that period at least 40,000 Palestinians, with a further 21,000 children missing.

It is the same military currently on trial for #genocide at the International Court of Justice (#ICJ), the highest court in the world.

If there are no red lines for Israel when it comes to brutalising Palestinian civilians trapped inside Gaza, why would there be any red lines for those kidnapped off its streets and dragged into its dungeons?

🇵🇸 Unleashed: Abuse of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers in the center of Hebron | B'Tselem

"For over a year, Israel has been waging an unrestrained war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and within the State of Israel. The violence that has always characterized the Israeli apartheid regime’s treatment of Palestinians is now appearing in its most direct and exposed form. This report focuses on one facet of this violence: recurring instances of severe abuse of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers in the center of Hebron throughout the summer of 2024.

B’Tselem gathered 25 testimonies from Palestinians who were abused by Israeli soldiers in central Hebron between May and August 2024. The testimonies describe acts of violence, humiliation, and abuse directed by soldiers at men, women, teenagers and children. Victims gave harrowing accounts of physical and psychological abuse.

🇸🇾 A Quick Glimpse into Jolani’s History of Crimes Against the Syrian People

In response to the question: “Where were you when the Sunnis were getting killed for the past 14 years?” — it’s important to remember that Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, now presenting himself as a political leader, is the same man whose hands are stained with the blood of Syrians from all backgrounds.

From leading #JabhatAlNusra, #AlQaeda’s branch in #Syria, to orchestrating #assassinations, #detentions, #torture, and #massacres across liberated and minority regions alike—#Jolani’s record is one of manipulation, brutality, and betrayal. His forces targeted #activists, #journalists, and revolutionaries just as viciously as they fought regime forces, crushing any voice that challenged his grip on power.

This is not a man who protected #Sunnis—this is a man who used them, oppressed them, and helped deepen sectarian wounds across Syria.
