B’Tselem says at least 84 Palestinians killed in Israeli torture camps

According to a report by the rights group B’Tselem, Israel's prison system has become a 'network of torture camps' where at least 84 Palestinians have died in custody since October 2023. The findings detail systematic abuse, including physical and psychological violence, deliberate starvation, and denial of medical treatment. B’Tselem asserts this is a deliberate state policy with political backing, pointing to public statements by officials like National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The group's director framed the prison conditions as part of a coordinated onslaught intended to destroy Palestinian society, alongside actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
