Hamas Condemns Israeli Security Guards’ Mistreatment of Palestinian Prisoners
The video by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz depicts a guard running a police dog on the hands of prisoners, some of whom are handcuffed and lying face down.
Palestinian inmates said guards beat them in areas without camera coverage, according to the newspaper.
An unnamed senior Israeli Prisons Service official acknowledged to the newspaper that there is “severe violence” against prisoners in Megiddo, while the service described procedures as “routine.”
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas condemned the footage, stating it “reveals the extent of hatred and sadism against Palestinians.”
Hamas added that more than 60 Palestinians have died in the Israeli regime’s prisons from starvation, torture and medical neglect.
