Male nurse, food seller among inmates held at underground jail for Oct. 7 terrorists — report

A nurse and food seller were among the detainees who have been held without charge at an underground prison facility designated for Palestinian terrorists who took part in the Hamas-led October 7 attack against Israel, according to the Guardian.

The British newspaper reports the young food seller was among the Palestinian prisoners released as part of the Gaza ceasefire-hostage deal, with his lawyer for the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel saying he was jailed after being “taken from a checkpoint on a road.”

The nurse is reportedly still held along with over 1,000 other detainees at the jail, where there is no natural light and Hebrew media outlets have previously said inmates are provided with the minimal necessities required by international law.

In response to the report, the Israel Prisons Service says that it “operates in accordance with the law and under the supervision of official comptrollers.” It also adds that “it is not responsible for the legal process, classification of detainees, arrest policy, or arrests.”
