The Legislation on Illegal Combatants provides Israeli forces the ability to systematically arrest Palestinians, holding them in solitary confinement with out entry to attorneys or any contact with their households, the non-governmental human rights group factors out.
The report is predicated on the testimonies of 27 Palestinian ex-prisoners, together with 5 girls and a 14-year-old boy, who alleged torture and inhuman or degrading remedy by the Israeli military.
A 57-year-old pediatrician – who was arrested throughout a raid on a Gaza hospital in December 2023 – mentioned he was handcuffed and blindfolded for 45 days in a camp, the place he was starved and repeatedly overwhelmed.
To date there isn’t a official response from the Israeli authorities to this Amnesty Worldwide report. Israel has repeatedly denied allegations of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners.
