Many Palestinians are being imprisoned by Israeli forces each day and abused, Al Jazeera reports.

According to Al Jazeera, Muhammad Abu Samra, one of those released, says he and other detainees were blindfolded and beaten up after being accused of carrying and using weapons.

“They transferred us to an army camp in Israel. They let dogs urinate on us and shoved sand on us. They threatened to shoot us. After two hours of being half-naked in such conditions, they moved us a few metres and told us to get ready for our execution,” he said.

Abdel Qader Tafesh, another former prisoner, says, “I only survived because of God’s will.

“We’ve gone through collective punishment day in, day out. I feel very sorry for the Palestinian men, the detained teenagers who are 15,16 years old, for the torture they’ve gone through,” Tafesh said.
