Freed Palestinian prisoners reveal
severe abuses in Israeli prisons


ICRC officials expressed outrage over the manner in which Israel released Palestinian prisoners during Saturday’s prisoner exchange

Recently released Palestinian prisoners and detainees have reported severe abuses committed by the Israeli prison authorities against them.

Testimonies from the detainees freed under the Al-Aqsa Flood prisoner exchange with Israel have revealed the extent of the crimes they endured before their release from Israeli occupation prisons, including days of severe beatings by prison guards, which resulted in some sustaining rib fractures.

The Prisoners Information Office stated that these brutal practices reflect the level of abuse inflicted on prisoners in Israeli prisons, which has escalated to unprecedented levels since October 7, 2023.

    The Information Office highlighted widespread physical and psychological torture, systematic starvation, and deliberate medical neglect, leading to the outbreak of diseases, including scabies, among the prisoners
The immediate transfer of several released detainees to hospitals for treatment after years in captivity "underscores the horrific conditions they endured in these fascist prisons, where the Israeli occupation employs brutal torture methods that violate all international laws and conventions related to prisoners' rights," the statement emphasized.

It stressed that the torture, suppression, and abuse inflicted on Palestinian detainees “constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity,” calling for urgent intervention from the international community, the United Nations, and all human rights and humanitarian organizations to halt these violations and ensure accountability for those responsible.

Additionally, officials from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) expressed outrage over the manner in which Israel released Palestinian prisoners during Saturday’s prisoner exchange between the occupation authorities and the Palestinian Resistance, Press TV reported.

The Palestinian detainees, handed over to the ICRC after their release from an Israeli prison, were led out in shackles, their hands behind their heads, and wearing bracelets bearing Israeli symbols.

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, ICRC staff were shocked by the treatment of the Palestinian prisoners.

Issa al-Darabi, a prisoner released from Ramon prison, shared with Al Mayadeen the harrowing experience of Palestinian detainees inside Israeli jails. He revealed that the Israeli occupation was employing a policy of systematic starvation against the detainees, while its soldiers continued their daily lives as though they were in their own homes.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society also reported that Israeli authorities are engaging in systematic repression against released detainees and preventing their families from holding any welcoming receptions.

    In parallel, the Ramallah and al-Bireh governorates reported that 10 released detainees were transferred to hospitals due to their critical health conditions resulting from the abuse they endured during their detention
In Gaza, freed prisoners were taken to the European Hospital in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the enclave, for medical examinations following their release.

Earlier, Hamas said the ongoing violations against Palestinian detainees demand immediate action from the United Nations, the international community, and human rights and humanitarian organizations.

The Palestinian group condemned the ongoing horrific violations against the courageous Palestinian detainees, labeling them as "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity."

The movement highlighted that several detainees were transferred directly from the occupation’s prisons to hospitals to receive medical treatment due to the abuse and torture they endured.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that the detainees released as part of the prisoner exchange deal endured severe beatings by jailers for several days before their release.

Our correspondent also reported on Saturday that some of the released detainees sustained rib fractures resulting from brutal beating by Israeli jailers over several days.

Israeli demolish 100 buildings in Jenin
    amid ongoing invasion
The forced displacement of approximately 15,000 people from Jenin refugee camp and Al-Hadaf neighborhood has led many to seek refuge in nearby villages and towns

Israeli forces have demolished 100 buildings in Jenin, according to reports from Israeli media on Sunday. The large-scale destruction is part of the ongoing military operation in the occupied West Bank, which has resulted in extensive damage to infrastructure and mass displacement.

Israeli reports described the demolition campaign in Jenin as "the first of its kind", noting that it was carried out under the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Security Minister Israel Katz.

Palestinian media documented the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) detonated multiple buildings in the Jenin refugee camp on Sunday. According to local sources, around 20 buildings in the eastern part of the camp were rigged with explosives and detonated simultaneously, with loud explosions heard across the city and surrounding areas.

Dr. Wisam Bakr, director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, confirmed to WAFA news agency that some hospital sections sustained damage from the blasts, though no injuries were recorded.

Widespread Displacement and Rising Death Toll

The destruction of multi-story residential buildings in Jenin refugee camp has left many families homeless, worsening the humanitarian crisis. Israeli forces have been conducting their military assault on Jenin and its refugee camp for 13 consecutive days, resulting in 25 martyrs, dozens of injuries, mass arrests, and severe infrastructure damage.

On Sunday morning, an Israeli sniper killed 73-year-old Walid Al-Lahlouh at the entrance to Jenin refugee camp, while another Palestinian was shot in the thigh in Al-Jabriyat neighborhood.

On Saturday, five Palestinians, including a child, were killed in the eastern part of Jenin and Qabatiya, south of the city.

The forced displacement of approximately 15,000 people from Jenin refugee camp and Al-Hadaf neighborhood has led many to seek refuge in nearby villages and towns.

Hospitals in Jenin are also experiencing a severe water shortage after Israeli forces targeted and destroyed water supply lines, leaving 35% of the city’s population without access to water.

Iraq Condemns Suggestion of
Palestinian State in Saudi Arabia


Iraq’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s suggestion that a Palestinian state could be established on Saudi territory, calling the remarks a “provocative” violation of sovereignty

In an interview with Israel’s Channel 14, Netanyahu proposed relocating Palestinians to Saudi Arabia, stating that the kingdom has “a lot of land over there.”

Iraq’s Foreign Ministry denounced the statement as “a blatant infringement on Saudi sovereignty and an assault on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”

Baghdad reaffirmed its “full solidarity” with Riyadh and stressed that any attempt to undermine a nation’s sovereignty was “completely unacceptable.”

Saudi Arabia also rejected Netanyahu’s remarks, with its Foreign Ministry emphasizing that the kingdom “categorically opposes any proposal that seeks to displace Palestinians from their land.”

Several Arab nations, including Egypt, the UAE, and Jordan, also issued statements condemning Netanyahu’s comments.

The debate over Gaza’s future took an unexpected turn last week when former US President Donald Trump suggested that Washington should “take over the Gaza Strip” and transform it into a “Riviera of the Middle East” after resettling Palestinians elsewhere.

Trump previously claimed that Saudi Arabia was not insisting on Palestinian statehood as a condition for normalizing ties with Israel.

However, Riyadh dismissed this assertion, reiterating that it would not establish relations with Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state.

Israeli forces kill pregnant Palestinian
    woman and unborn baby in raid
21-year-old Rahaf Fouad Abdullah al-Ashqar was also shot dead inside her home after Israeli forces used explosives to breach the entrance

Israeli forces carried out a deadly raid in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, killing a pregnant Palestinian woman and her unborn child. The attack, part of an intensified Israeli military campaign across Palestinian territories, has drawn sharp condemnation from human rights groups and Palestinian officials.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the killing of 23-year-old Sundos Jamal Mohammed Shalabi, who was eight months pregnant, along with her unborn baby. Shalabi's husband was critically wounded in the assault. According to eyewitnesses cited by Palestinian media, Israeli forces opened fire on the pregnant woman and her husband as they were attempting to flee the violence.

The Israeli occupation forces have not issued an explanation for Shalabi's killing but had earlier announced an expansion of its military operations in the northern West Bank, targeting the Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarm.

The invasion, described by Palestinian officials as part of "Israel's" ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign, involved a siege on the camp, forced evictions of residents, and large-scale demolitions. Bulldozers were reportedly used to destroy homes and roads, blocking access for ambulances and emergency workers.

Killing Spree

Shalabi was not the only Palestinian woman killed during the operation. 21-year-old Rahaf Fouad Abdullah al-Ashqar was also shot dead inside her home after Israeli forces used explosives to breach the entrance. Her father was seriously wounded in the attack.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the killings, stating they were "crimes of execution" and accusing Israeli forces of deliberately targeting defenseless civilians. The ministry further called for an international investigation into the continued war crimes being committed against Palestinians.

The Israeli military, which claims to be targeting ‘militants,' has refused to provide evidence linking Shalabi or al-Ashqar to any armed group. Meanwhile, Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz has openly admitted that the goal of recent military operations is to "smash the infrastructure in refugee camps" and prevent Palestinians from rebuilding.

Since the war on Gaza began in October 2023, "Israel" has escalated its attacks on the West Bank, with at least 870 Palestinians killed and more than 7,100 injured, according to Doctors Without Borders. The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented 657 attacks on Palestinian healthcare facilities in the West Bank during this period, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

Israeli forces continue to justify their actions under the pretext of counter-terrorism, while Palestinian communities endure ongoing massacres, mass displacement, and the destruction of their homes.

Palestinians forced out of Nur Shams

The Israeli war on the West Bank has been extensively targeting the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm, forcing thousands of civilians out

Dozens of Palestinian families were forcibly displaced from the Nur Shams refugee camp on Monday, as the Israeli occupation pressed on with a large-scale offensive in the occupied West Bank.

    "We hear explosions and bombings as well as bulldozers. It's a tragedy. They are doing here what they did in Gaza," said Ahmed Ezza, a resident of the camp
Another resident, Ahmed Abu Zahra, said he was forced to leave his home. "The (Israeli) army came and we were forced to leave after they started destroying our homes."

The Israeli occupation launched the Nur Shams offensive on Saturday as part of a wider war that began in January across Tulkarm and Jenin.

According to Murad Alyan, a member of the camp’s popular committee, "more than half of the 13,000 inhabitants have fled out of fear for their lives."

Unprecedented escalation

"What we are living through is without precedent," said Ahmad al-Assaad, governor of Tubas, who stressed that Israeli forces were not targeting armed fighters but civilians, women, and children, using home demolitions as a means of forcing people out.

On Sunday, Israeli occupation forces carried out a deadly raid in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, killing a pregnant Palestinian woman and her unborn child. The attack, part of an intensified Israeli military campaign across Palestinian territories, has drawn sharp condemnation from human rights groups and Palestinian officials.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the killing of 23-year-old Sundos Jamal Mohammed Shalabi, who was eight months pregnant, along with her unborn baby. Shalabi's husband was critically wounded in the assault. According to eyewitnesses cited by Palestinian media, Israeli forces opened fire on the pregnant woman and her husband as they were attempting to flee the violence.

The Israeli rights group B'Tselem described the offensive as an "all-out war on the Palestinian people," saying that since the ceasefire came into effect in Gaza, the West Bank "has been on fire."

Tulkarm’s governor, Abdallah Kamil, stated that the goal of these operations is not security but politics. "They destroy everything," he said. "They are trying to change the region’s demographics."

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said "Israel" was using the same all-out destruction strategy employed in the Gaza Strip.
