Israeli prison forces savagely assaulted Palestinian prisoners in Gilboa jail recently, according to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Commission said that Israeli forces stormed one of the cells in Gilboa jail a few days ago, assaulted the prisoners inside it, and wreaked havoc on everything.

The Commission also said that the prisoners in Gilboa jail suffer from different forms of maltreatment and torture, including starvation, nighttime raids, brutal beatings, sleep deprivation, and medical neglect.

Israeli jailers deliberately leave cells’ windows open and prevent prisoners from blocking them with anything while refusing to provide them with enough clothes and blankets in order to make them suffer from severe cold temperatures, according to the Commission’s lawyer.

Israeli jailers also torture the prisoners through keeping the lights on in their cells 24 hours a day in order to deprive them of getting natural sleep.

During the lawyer’s visit, Gilboa prisoners complained of being served poor quality meals and not provided with essential needs such shavers and clippers.

Since the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza started, the incarceration conditions in Israeli jails have become much worse than before.
