Palestinian detainees released back to Gaza have reported mistreatment and torture at the hands of Israeli military and prison staff, adding to reports of misconduct within Israel's barracks and jails. The detainees were accused of having links with Hamas and questioned over the location of hostages and tunnels, but were not found to be involved in recent attacks. The Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Prison Service did not respond to allegations or provide information on convictions or accusations against the men. Experts say the treatment described by the detainees is inconsistent with international and Israeli law and may meet the threshold of torture.
