Most Palestinians who've been rounded up since Oct. 7 are incarcerated without due process or contact with the outside world, Israeli human rights organizations say. Israel denies abusing detainees.
According to Physicians for Human Rights Israel, Abu Salah is one of more than 3,000 Palestinians who have been rounded up from the Gaza Strip since Hamas-led militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7. The militants killed 1,200 people in Israel that day and took some 240 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. Israel has been on heightened national security alert ever since.
Abu Salah says he wasn’t given antibiotics or other medication. About a week later, he was back in the hospital. Gangrene had set in.Abu Salah was sent back to prison after the operation. By his count, he spent 52 days incarcerated. He was never charged. At no time did he see his family, a lawyer or a representative from the Red Cross, he says.
“I would stay there two or three days, the music didn’t stop, not even for a second. It hurt me mentally,” he said.Israel’s military would not comment specifically to NPR about Dokhan’s or Abu Salah’s cases but says many of the prisoners it holds in custody are part of Hamas and are responsible for the Oct. 7 attack. In a statement to NPR, the military said it “rejects allegations concerning the systematic abuse of detainees.
