Israeli authorities have released more than 40 Palestinian prisoners after they completed their sentences, Al Jazeera reports, citing the Wafa news agency reports.

The men were released at the Dhahiriya checkpoint, in front of the Salem military checkpoint in the Jenin area of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that some of the men were suffering from skin diseases or showed signs of abuse, specifically those released from the Sde Teiman detention camp in the Naqab (Negev) desert in southern Israel, where there have been allegations of torture.

Several of the men were transferred to hospital for treatment, according to the PPS.
