A prisoners' center reported that detainees from Gaza and sick inmates confront mounting dangers inside Israeli prisons, Shehab Wire reported. The organization did not detail the specific threats but indicated that conditions in the detention facilities have deteriorated.
The report comes amid broader concerns over the welfare of Palestinians held in Israeli custody. Rights groups have raised alarms about treatment and conditions in prisons holding detainees transferred from Gaza during the conflict. The statement represents the latest in a series of warnings about the situation facing Gaza-origin detainees in the Israeli prison system.
