🇵🇸 Israa Jaabis, a Palestinian woman who suffered severe burns and was charged with attempted murder after her car exploded near an Israeli checkpoint in 2015, has been welcomed home by her family.

Speaking to media after her release late on Saturday night, Jaabis said: “My wounds are visible and my struggles, I don’t need to talk about.”

She described the emotions of yearning to be with family as the price prisoners pay.

She also expressed concerns about other Palestinians she had been imprisoned with who were not released, including young girls who she said cried when she was released “because they’ve been subjected to a lot of things”.

“I’m talking about the small girls. They’ve been through things that nobody should witness,”
#IsraaJaabis told journalists.

Inside Israel's mass imprisonment of Palestinians – The New Arab

The situation of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons is very dangerous nowadays. This is the worst time prisoners have seen since Israel occupied the Palestinian territories in 1967,” Muhammad Abdul Samad, a spokesperson of the Palestinian Commission for Detainees and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs, told The New Arab, highlighting how the war on Gaza has dramatically impacted the lives of Palestinian detainees.

"One million Palestinians have passed through Israeli prisons since the occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip in 1967

There's hardly a Palestinian house without a family member in jail or a former prisoner. It affects every Palestinian"

🇵🇸 A released Palestinian female prisoner has claimed that female prisoners faced threats of sexual assault and that some were subjected to beatings which at times occurred when they were naked in prison bathrooms.

Ruqayah Amr, one of the Palestinian prisoners released as part of the truce agreement between Hamas and Israel made the claims during an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic TV.

She claimed Israeli guards would threaten prisoners, stating, “They would show us fabricated videos, but the girls would refuse to look at them. [The Israeli guards would say] look what we are going to do to you,” Amr added. “It’s something I can’t even talk about.”

Amr's claims add to previous ones reported by Middle East Eye that allege Israeli guards have threatened sexual assault against female inmates and assaulted them inside their cells.

🇵🇸 A Palestinian Teenager’s Experience in an Israeli Prison
- This is Palestine | Podcast -

As of the time of this recording, Israel has temporarily halted its brutal bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip. As part of the agreement to “pause” the bombing, Israel is releasing Palestinian kids and women held in Israeli prisons in exchange for the release of Israelis held in Gaza. The vast majority of those released have never been convicted. In this episode, we highlight the story of a young Palestinian teenager who was released by Israel, how and why he ended up in Israeli prisons and the treatment of the prisoners before and after the start of the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip.

🇵🇸 Apartheid Israeli justice system in West Bank

Israel operates two systems of law in the occupied territories. Palestinians under the military. Israelis under civil law"

A report by CNN's Nima Elbagir sheds light on the controversial Israeli justice system and how Palestinians in the West Bank are subject to the jurisdiction of Israel's military courts, while Israeli settlers arrested in the West Bank are tried in civilian courts within Israel

CNN broke down the numbers in a list of 300 Palestinian prisoners identified by Israel as eligible for release. 80% are listed as just detained, which means they have not been formally sentenced

The report talks about Fatima Shahin, who spent seven months in an Israeli prison. She was initially accused of attempting to murder an Israeli in the West Bank. However, she was never formally charged with any crime

🇵🇸 What happens to arrested Palestinian women?

After speaking to several women who had been arrested in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera’s Hoda Abdel-Hamid traced the phases of detention that female prisoners have to face:

They are first brought to Ofer prison.They are then taken to another location for interrogation for several days.After that, they are moved to Demon, a prison for female Palestinian detainees in Israel.

“They say inside those jails they are entirely cut off from the world and conditions are very harsh because they say prison guards were taking revenge or their anger out on them for what happened on October 7,” Abdel-Hamid said, reporting from #Hebron.

🇵🇸 Special Rapporteur Says Israel’s Unlawful Carceral Practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Are Tantamount to International Crimes and Have Turned it into an Open-Air Prison | OHCHR - July 2023

Currently, there were 5,000 Palestinians in Israeli prisons, including 160 children, and approximately 1,100 of them were detained without charge or trial.  Her report did not condone any acts of violence committed by Palestinians, while living under an unlawful occupation or in their pursuit to end it. 

However, it must be acknowledged that most Palestinians had been convicted through a series of violations of international law, such as discrimination, persecution, and breaches of due process and for ordinary acts of life and in the exercise of legitimate civil and political rights. 

A widespread and systematic arbitrary deprivation of liberty of Palestinians was a structural component of their subjugation.

🇵🇸 Urinating on Prisoners: Why Humiliation is Functional in Israel’s War on Palestinians | Mint Press

Zionist militias, using advanced Western arms, conquered historic Palestine in 1947-48, they expressed their victory through the deliberate humiliation of Palestinians.

Much of that humiliation targeted women, in particular, knowing how the dishonor of Palestinian females represents, according to Arab culture, a sense of dishonor to the whole community.

This strategy remains in use to this day.When scores of Palestinian women were released following prisoner exchanges between the Palestinian Resistance and Israel, starting on November 24, there was very little room to hide the facts.

Unlike the 75-year-ago Palestinian community, this current generation no longer internalizes Israel’s intentional humiliation of women and men alike, as if an act of collective dishonor.

🇵🇸 'We were hit if we didn't bark or meow': Gaza detainees reveal brutal treatment by Israeli soldiers

We were hit if we didn't bark or meow'

Former detainees in Gaza have shared harrowing accounts of their treatment during their time in Israeli custody. In a report by Al Jazeera, #Gaza civilians describe being treated like dogs, beaten for not complying with orders, and deprived of basic needs, such as drinking water.

They detailed being stripped, blindfolded, and subjected to #torture, including electric shocks and being force-fed unknown pills. Even the sick were not spared, with sick #detainees receiving increased punishment instead of care.

🇵🇸 Israeli Knesset’s decision to deny Gaza detainees legal representation provides legal cover for crime of enforced disappearance

The Israeli #Knesset’s General Assembly approved regulations that prevent Gazan detainees from meeting with their lawyers for an additional four months, thereby creating a legal cover for the crime of enforced #disappearance committed against thousands of #detainees.

According to the statement, the detainees’ prolonged forced disappearance may be a sign of the degree of #torture and violence they have endured during their arrest, interrogation, and #detention. EMHR emphasised that offering legal cover to conceal detainees indicates the involvement of multiple Israeli authorities in human rights violations. This cover is worthless, however, given that enforced disappearance is considered a crime against humanity by the #RomeStatute of the International Criminal Court.
