The Hamas Movement said that “the Israeli break-in into Palestinian prisoners’ cells in Ofer prison and assaulting them is a criminal act that reflects the Israeli terrorist nature.”
“Such attacks came as part of Israel’s brutality against our prisoners and a miserable attempt to restore its shattered prestige,” the Movement said.
Hamas called for “exposing these Israeli inhuman crimes against Palestinian prisoners.”
Earlier, the Prisoners Media Office reported that special Israeli prison units raided a section of Ofer Prison, west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, and assaulted detainees.
“Prisoners were beaten and sprayed with gas,” the Prisoners Media Office said in a statement.
According to Palestinian human rights organizations, Israel is holding more than 10,000 Palestinians in its prisons.
The Palestinian Commission for Prisoners’ and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society also held the Israeli Prison Service accountable “for the lives and fate of thousands of prisoners in Ofer Prison”.
