GAZA, February 12, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) and the Palestinian Authority's Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs have released new testimonies from Gaza detainees incarcerated inside Israeli detention, all of which affirm Israel's use of torture as a weapon of war.

They said that these testimonies are part of dozens of testimonies and statements that the institutions obtained through visits that were made to many Gaza detainees over the past period, and recently 18 detainees from Gaza were visited in the Negev prison and the Sde Teiman camp, one of whom confirmed that his hands were broken and he was abused while he was tied up.

They also shed light on the brutality and systematic torture faced by detainees, reflecting the extreme violence and dehumanization they endure at the hands of Israeli forces. 

These detainees continue to endure unimaginable conditions, having been subjected to torture, humiliation, and severe deprivation since their detention.

The statement reiterated that the level of crimes and violations reflected in the testimonies has not changed, but rather remains at the same level, which doubles the level of danger to the fate of thousands of detainees.

They also affirmed that torture crimes still dominate the impact of the detainees' testimonies, and even the crimes of starvation, and humiliation in all its forms, in addition to the harsh detention conditions that are based on policies of theft and deprivation.
