RAMALLAH, November 27, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoners' Society and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs revealed an unprecedented escalation in torture, ill-treatment, and starvation within Israeli prisons and detention camps, during November 2025, based on dozens of field visits conducted by legal teams.
The organizations described such measures as protracted extermination of Palestinian detainees.
In a joint statement, both organizations affirmed the continued use of electric shocks, rubber-coated bullets, denial of medical treatment, and systematic harassment of sick and wounded prisoners.
The statement also noted the spread of scabies in several facilities, with hundreds of infections recorded.
The legal teams were able to visit a number of detainees from Gaza held in the underground Rakeft section of Ramle Prison. The teams relayed harrowing accounts of the treatment the detainees endured from the moment of their arrest, during interrogation, and later while detained in this closed underground section.
Regarding the issue of female and child prisoners, the situation and conditions of detention remained largely unchanged. During November, numerous systematic acts of repression were recorded against them, and female and child prisoners were subjected to various forms of abuse.
The female prisoners described harsh and degrading details that reflected the policy of deprivation and denial practiced against them by the prison administration.
The prisons visited included: Negev, Ofer, Damon, Shatta, Megiddo, Gilboa, Ofer Camp (Gilad), Ganot Prison (formerly Ramon and Nafha), and the Rekefet section of Ramle Prison.
They also emphasized that this briefing comes at a time when Israeli authorities are rapidly attempting to legislate a law to execute Palestinian prisoners, one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation it has ever attempted to impose.
They warned that the occupation, which has carried out extrajudicial executions for decades through a range of policies, including the slow killing of hundreds of prisoners and detainees, is working to legalize and officially legitimize execution.
