Reports from a converted military base turned detention facility in the Negev desert reveal disturbing conditions faced by Palestinian detainees. A “Israeli” worker at the facility captured images of men in gray tracksuits, blindfolded, and sitting on thin mattresses, surrounded by barbed wire under harsh spotlights.
The detainees were prohibited from speaking, moving, or even peeking from under their blindfolds. The air reeked of a foul smell, and the room echoed with their voices. Guards were instructed to maintain strict control, with frequent amputations due to constant handcuffing, and medical procedures performed by unqualified personnel.
Whistleblowers shared experiences of dehumanization and mistreatment, shedding light on the harsh reality faced by Palestinian detainees. Despite denials from the Israeli Occupation, reports of abuses continue to surface from various sources, raising questions about the government’s adherence to international standards.
These revelations come amidst protests and demands for closure of the facility, as the Israeli Occupation expands its authority to detain suspected militants without due process. The situation reflects a broader pattern of human rights violations in Israeli custody, emphasizing the urgent need for accountability and justice.
