ALBAWABA - An alarming trend is that Israel is allegedly using unusual tactics against Palestinian detainees in Gaza, according to a new report by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory.
The article claims that Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails have been given injections of unknown chemicals, resulting in visible body markings and scars. Even if it's unknown exactly what these compounds are—toxins, pharmaceuticals, or something else entirely—their effects have sparked grave humanitarian concerns.
The study demands that the international community end its quiet and act forcefully to combat what it refers to as institutionalized torture and cruel treatment.
It emphasizes claims of prejudice and coordinated retaliation against Gaza's civilian population, calling for prompt investigation of the circumstances in Israeli prisons.
The charges coincide with an increasing number of victim accounts describing the different physical torture methods used by Israeli soldiers, including as electric shocks, hot water pouring, and harsh beatings.
Increased during the "Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa" last year, these tactics are said to have caused prisoner fatalities and lifelong disability.
Social media users are very angry about this subject, denouncing the alleged abuses and demanding accountability. Palestinian human rights activists stress that such acts are against international humanitarian law and call for the perpetrators to be held accountable.
The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Alice Edwards, has been called to step in and guarantee a comprehensive investigation of the alleged abuses in Israeli jails as cries for inquiry become more and more vocal.
