Palestinians describe scenes of a massacre after Israel bombs a refugee camp in north Gaza. Videos surface of Israeli soldiers torturing and abusing naked, bound Palestinian detainees in the West Bank.
The number of Palestinians killed in Israel’s deadly bombardment of Gaza Strip surpassed 6,000 people as Gaza’s Ministry of Health announced the death of 700 people in just 24 hours.
Israel has almost doubled the Palestinian prison population since October 7, and now it’s cracking down on prisoners’ conditions. This is part of Israel’s ongoing genocidal war against Palestinian resistance.
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said in a statement that the Israeli Prison Service was “obstructing lawyer visits” to hunger-striking prisoner Kayed al-Fasfous.
Israeli forces killed three Palestinians this week, including a 16-year-old boy. Meanwhile, 1,000 Palestinian prisoners announced a hunger strike in protest of repressive policies by the Israel Prison Service under the control of Itamar Ben-Gvir.
An entire generation of Palestinian children has been born through sperm smuggled by Palestinian prisoners behind bars. Israel refuses to recognize these children. In doing so, it criminalizes Palestinian life itself.
Walid Daqqah broke free during his nearly four-decade imprisonment through his writings, his resistance, and the birth of his daughter, Milad. His lifetime of refusing the prison’s walls has brought us all closer to freedom.
The Israeli settler movement and state both work toward the same goal: the colonization of Palestine, and the repression of resistance to that colonization by the native population.
Walid Daqqah’s health continues to deteriorate inside Ramleh prison’s death chambers. Yet “despite all the roughness and challenges of prison, Walid keeps saying, ‘I am still kind and loving'” says his brother, As’ad Daqqah.
