Freed Palestinian prisoners say they were tortured by Israel after arrest in Gaza

Palestinian prisoners who were released by Israel have said that they were tortured by the Israeli army, Al Jazeera has reported. 

One of the prisoners who reached the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir el-Balah, Gaza was unable to move and showed visible signs of torture.

He was arrested from an aid area in the southern part of the enclave, and spoke of harsh conditions in Israel military camps. 

“They electrocuted us and threw grenades at us,” said Asfour, who was arrested while trying to get food. “We were under torture for a whole month."
