According to the Zionist false propaganda Hamas fighters attacked Israeli forces in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday as efforts continued to extend the ongoing ceasefire, in opposition to Netanyahu who wishes to end the humanitarian pause and renew the war on Gaz mainly on the south of the enclave.
Shortly after the reported incident the spokesperson for Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades Abu Obeidah claimed that Israeli forces had committed a “clear violation” of the ceasefire and that Hamas had “dealt with this violation.” Israel mass propaganda claims that the Israeli army did not move from its positions. However, as usual Israel hides its criminal actions in violation of the agreement.
According to Wafa news agency a Palestinian child prisoner who was supposed to be released on Saturday was returned to Israeli prison. The child Nofoth Hammad, 16, from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, the youngest Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails, was assaulted by the Zionist goons in uniform.
The father told WAFA that the occupation forces while she was being transported to Jerusalem to be released “and was later transferred to Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem after she was injured by the Zionist sadistic soldiers. The father was not allowed to see her in the hospital. She was arrested two years ago while leaving her school under the pretext of trying to assault one of the settlers and sentenced to 12 years in prison” [1]
According to Amnesty International investigations published on 10/November/2023 04:06 PM there are horrifying cases of torture and degrading treatment of Palestinian detainees amid spike in arbitrary arrests.
The Zionist state has dramatically increased their use of administrative detention, a form of arbitrary detention, of Palestinians across the 1967 occupied West Bank; extended emergency measures that facilitate inhuman and degrading treatment of prisoners; and failed to investigate incidents of torture and death in custody over the past four weeks.
“Since October 7 the occupation forces have detained more than 2,200 Palestinian men and women, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. According to Israeli human rights organization HaMoked, between 1 October and 1 November, the total number of Palestinians held in administrative detention, without charge or trial, rose from 1,319 to 2,070.
“Testimony from released detainees and human rights lawyers, as well as video footage and images illustrate some of the forms of torture and other ill-treatment prisoners have been subjected to by Israeli forces over the past four weeks. These include severe beatings and humiliation of detainees, including by forcing them to keep their heads down, to kneel on the floor during inmate count, and to sing Israeli songs” [2]
“Amnesty International researchers interviewed 12 people, including six released detainees, three relatives of detainees, and three lawyers working on recent arrests. Researchers also reviewed testimonies shared by other released detainees and analyzed video footage and images.
In one image analyzed by Amnesty International’s Crisis Evidence Lab, three Palestinian men, blindfolded and stripped of their clothes can be seen beside a soldier, wearing a green olive uniform like those worn by the Israeli ground forces. A Haaretz investigation published on 19 October found that the image was taken in Wadi al-Seeq, a village East of Ramallah, on 12 October. One of the three victims depicted in the photograph told Amnesty International that he had initially been held and beaten by settlers but two hours later an Israeli military jeep arrived: “One of the Israeli officers who came, approached me and kicked me on my left side, then jumped on my head with his two legs pushing my face further into the dirt and then continued kicking me as I was head down, into the dirt, with my hands tied behind my back. He then got a knife and tore all of my clothes off except for my underwear and used part of my torn clothes to blindfold me. The beating to the rest of my body did not stop, at one point he started jumping on my back – three or four times – while yelling ‘die, die you trash’ … in the end before this finally stopped, another officer urinated on my face and body while also yelling at us ‘to die’” [3]
Down with the Zionist apartheid state!
Down with the criminal Zionists!
Cease fire now!
