Human rights report details prison gunfire in Israel
An Israeli human rights report revealed that more than 22 testimonies were received over the past year from Palestinian prisoners regarding injuries caused by Israeli prison guards during raids or inside Sections and prisons. An unprecedented escalation in the Israeli occupation forces' use of live ammunition against prisoners has been observed. Sources clarified that the injuries involved rubber, plastic, or sponge bullets, with the range of harm including fractures and serious wounds that led to organ removals. There were also notes indicating that proper medical treatment or examinations were not provided following the injuries. The two human rights organizations issued a call to the Israeli Prison Service to halt the excessive use of force, which they describe as inconsistent with instructions. While they acknowledged using less harmful means, they did not disclose the type of ammunition or the rules governing its use. This comes alongside ongoing arrest campaigns in the West Bank and worsening conditions for the prisoners, who number approximately 9,350, amidst international criticism of Israeli policies that exacerbate the situation.
