Welcome to Hell:
Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps
Report by B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories
This report concerns the treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the inhuman conditions they have been subjected to in Israeli prisons since 7 October 2023. B’Tselem’s research for the report included collecting testimonies from 55 Palestinians who were incarcerated in Israeli prisons and detention facilities during this time. Thirty of the witnesses are residents of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem; 21 are residents of the Gaza Strip; and four are Israeli citizens.1 The testimonies were given to B’Tselem after the witnesses were released from prison, the overwhelming majority of them without being tried.
