Israeli army releases dozens of Palestinian prisoners from Gaza
The Israeli army has released some 80 Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip, local sources told Anadolu Agency. The detainees were set free at the Israeli-controlled Kissufim crossing in eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the sources added.
A medical source said at least 10 of the freed prisoners were in poor health condition and were hospitalised at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir el-Balah.
‘All we endured was pain and torture’: Palestinian describes torture in Israeli prison
As reported earlier, Israel has released dozens of Palestinians from Gaza. Al Jazeera has spoken to one released prisoner, Fayez Ayoub, who says he was detained by the Israeli army on November 6.
“Every day, starting at 5am, they would wake us up, and from 7am until 11pm, we were forced to stand without sitting or moving,” Ayoub told Al Jazeera.
“Sometimes, they made us kneel for two or three hours straight. Anyone who moved was beaten. After that, they made us stand with our arms raised above our heads. If your arms dropped, they would beat you.
“The forms of abuse were endless.
“Every week, they would assault us and beat us with metal rods. Our chests and backbones are broken. Our knees too. The situation was unbearable – complete humiliation. There was no sitting, no sleeping, no food – nothing.
“All we endured was pain and torture. Sometimes, we would fall asleep at midnight, only to be woken up at 1am and sprayed with gas and powder. Look at our clothes. We’ve been completely degraded.”
Marah Ayoub, the daughter of Fayez, said she hadn’t seen her father since the start of the war: “I’m very happy that my father has been released, but I didn’t expect to see him like this. He wasn’t like that. He’s changed a lot. This isn’t the father I know,” Ayoub told Al Jazeera.
