New footage shows mistreatment of Palestinians in an Israeli prison
Footage released by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reveals Israeli security guards abusing Palestinian prisoners at the Megiddo Prison in northern Israel.
The video depicts a guard running a police dog on the hands of prisoners, some of whom were handcuffed and lying face down.
Palestinian inmates said guards beat them in areas without camera coverage.
An unnamed senior Israeli Prisons Service official acknowledged to the newspaper there is “severe violence” against prisoners in Megiddo.
The service described procedures as “routine.”
Hamas condemned the footage, saying it “reveals the extent of hatred and sadism against Palestinians.”
The Palestinian resistance group says more than 60 Palestinians have died in prisons from starvation, torture and medical neglect.
