Israel has released 10 Palestinian detainees from Gaza, and they were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, according to a statement by Hamas' Office for Prisoner Affairs.
Several of the released detainees told Anadolu that they were subjected to systematic torture and starvation while in Israeli custody.
Israel has occasionally freed small groups of Palestinians detained from Gaza since launching its genocide in the enclave on Oct. 7, 2023.
On April 17, the Palestinian Prisoners Society said Israel arrested thousands of Palestinians from Gaza under conditions of extreme secrecy and enforced disappearance.
The group said in a statement that detainees are being held under “harsh and terrifying conditions intended to cause maximum harm.”
