Since October 7, 2023, the situation in Israeli prisons has been the worst it has ever been since the beginning of the Israeli occupation. Prisoners say that whoever had been detained before October 7 had never truly seen prison. Just as the Israeli occupation carries out a genocide in Gaza, it is aslo carrying it out behind bars, using torture, deliberate starvation, sexual assault, humiliation, and SA. Even Israeli doctors have notoriously assisted in the torture of Palestinian detainees, sharing prisoners’ medical information with interrogators to “greenlight” torture, teaching interrogators how to inflict pain without leaving physical marks, and sometimes directly engaging in torture themselves.

Prisoners released from the occupation’s jails are the clearest evidence of the conditions inside. A large number of them are released having lost significant weight, or suffer from serious health conditions such as scabies, requiring immediate transfer to hospitals.

In recent months, several prisoners have died in Israeli prisons. According to a statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Club, the number of martyrs from the prisoners’ movement has reached 64 since the beginning of the genocide on October 7, 2023, and these are only the ones whose deaths have been officially announced.
