Gaza Herald – The Prisoners Media Office revealed on Wednesday that multiple prisoners from Gaza were injured during a brutal crackdown carried out by Israeli occupation forces approximately two weeks ago at the Negev Prison. The office issued a statement detailing the severity of the incident and the specific injuries sustained by detainees.
According to the statement, a prisoner who is a doctor was struck by three rubber-coated steel bullets. Another prisoner suffered rib fractures as a result of severe beatings with batons by the security forces. The report emphasized that these injuries occurred during a coordinated operation involving excessive force against unarmed detainees.
The office further stated that suppression units deployed dogs toward the prisoners and forced them to lie face down on the ground. Following this, the detainees were subjected to violent physical assaults. These actions resulted in various physical injuries and caused difficult psychological conditions among the affected prisoners, according to the official account provided by the media office.
The Prisoners Media Office affirmed that the deliberate targeting of defenseless prisoners constitutes a blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law. The organization argued that these events reflect the ongoing refusal of the occupation authorities to fulfill their obligations regarding the protection of prisoners, safeguarding their dignity, and ensuring their physical safety.
In its statement, the office called upon international and human rights institutions to intervene urgently to halt such crackdowns. It demanded thorough investigations into the reported violations and accountability for those responsible for carrying out the attacks. The organization insisted that immediate action is necessary to prevent further harm to detainees held in Israeli facilities.
The Prisoners Media Office placed full responsibility for the lives and safety of Gaza prisoners on the occupation forces. The statement served as a formal condemnation of the treatment received by detainees in Negev Prison, highlighting the urgent need for external oversight and intervention to address the alleged abuses.
