One of the Palestinian minor prisoners, released on Friday, told Al Jazeera that the situation of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons is tragic, extremely difficult and indescribable.
The 17-year-old prisoner added that the prison administration prevents prisoners from exercising and starves them, stressing that they are completely isolated from the world.
He revealed that the prison administration threatened the prisoners that they would be rearrested if large numbers of citizens received them to celebrate their release.
Israel’s escalation against Palestinian prisoners and their families comes after 48 days during which the Israeli army launched a devastating war on Gaza stripIt left more than 14,854 Palestinian martyrs, including 6,150 children and more than 4,000 women, in addition to more than 36,000 injured, 75% of whom were children and women, according to the government media office in Gaza.
On Friday, the temporary humanitarian truce between Israel and the Palestinian factions entered into force. The humanitarian truce agreement includes the release of 50 Israeli prisoners from Gaza, in exchange for the release of 150 Palestinians from Israeli prisons, and the entry of hundreds of trucks loaded with humanitarian, relief, medical and fuel aid to all areas of the Strip.
