Gaza prisoners describe 'horrific' abuse in Israel's Ofer jail

A report from the commission details various forms of systematic abuse, including the use of attack dogs, tear gas and pepper spray in cells.

Some of the detainees who spoke to the commission said they lost consciousness multiple times after beatings, and one man named Islam Sirsawi reportedly succumbed to death after being tortured.

“Our bodies are exhausted, and we have become prone to illness and injury,” one detainee said. “No medical treatment or medication is provided. Despite these dire conditions, we cling to the hope of returning to our families alive.”

The testimonies come amid increasing reports of horrific torture and abuse of Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails, leading in many cases to their deaths.
