Sources in the Ministry of Interior to Al-Aqsa Channel:

• More than 20 people were killed from gangs of aid truck thieves in a security operation carried out by the security services in cooperation with tribal committees.

• Today's security operation will not be the last. It is the beginning of a comprehensive security operation that has been planned for a long time and will expand to include everyone involved in the theft of aid trucks.

• The security services will punish with an iron fist anyone involved in helping gangs of thieves.

• The security campaign does not target specific clans, but rather aims to eliminate the phenomenon of truck theft, which has greatly affected society and caused signs of famine in the southern Gaza Strip.

• The security services are proud of the Palestinian clans east of Rafah, and the fact that some of their members were drawn into theft plans will not harm the history of these families who have presented hundreds of resistance martyrs.

• The security services monitored communications between gangs of thieves and the occupation forces in covering their work and directing their tasks, and providing them with security cover by Shin Bet officers.

• The security services received wide national approval for this operation.

But they also stress that the siege isn't just on Gaza but on the entire world's humanity. They call on everyone to recognize our collective power and responsibility in this struggle.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Prisoners' Club present the testimony of a detainee from Gaza who was used by the Israeli occupation as a human shield for more than 40 days Full statement 🔽🔽
Ramallah - The Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club reviewed the testimony of the young man M.D., 21 years old, from Gaza, who was used by the occupation army as a human shield for more than 40 days, and another detainee who was with him, in addition to being subjected to acts of abuse and deliberate subjugation, humiliation, assault, starvation, terrorizing and threatening him. 

The occupation soldiers arrested him and a group of citizens in June 2024, from the Karem Abu Salem crossing while he was working in transporting goods. The occupation soldiers deliberately kept him at a concentration point belonging to a force from the Israeli army between the Philadelphia (a strip of land along the Gaza Egypt border) and Rafah axis.

According to the young man’s testimony, “the occupation forces used him as a human shield on a daily basis, through several methods, including: “Putting him on the front of the military vehicles of the occupation army, with his...Throughout that period, the occupation soldiers practiced a policy of starvation against him, and deprived him of using the bathroom or showering. This continued throughout the period of his detention, where he faced death at every moment, according to his expression, until he was shot in the chest on August 6, and remained for about half an hour without treatment.” 

According to his testimony, “the next day, he found himself in the Israeli Soroka Hospital, where he stayed for three days, until he was released on August 9, through the Karem Abu Salem crossing, and was transferred by ambulance to Nasser Medical Hospital. It turned out that the injury caused him a fracture in his chest, and an injury to Another in the lung, and the exit of the injury is still open and he needs urgent treatment.

The Authority and the Club stated that the young man M.D. and his family, like hundreds of thousands of citizens from Gaza, were displaced to more than one area, as a result of the ongoing war..Although international law and international agreements have prohibited the use of civilians as human shields as a war crime, the occupation, as well as all the systematic crimes it practices, continues to pursue them, so that this testimony constitutes one of dozens of testimonies of detainees from Gaza, against whom systematic torture crimes were practiced in Israeli prisons and camps. 

The Sde Teiman camp was one of the most prominent stations for crimes of torture, starvation, medical crimes and sexual assaults against them, which led to the martyrdom of dozens of detainees from Gaza, most of whom the occupation continues to conceal their identities, in addition to the field executions it carried out. 

It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation has adopted the crime of using Palestinian citizens and detainees as human shields, as this crime constitutes one of the most prominent historical policies, and has escalated especially since the beginning of the war of extermination.We remind you that since the beginning of the war of extermination, the occupation has carried out and continues to carry out systematic and escalating arrest campaigns throughout Palestine. The number of arrests in the West Bank has reached more than ten thousand, in addition to thousands of citizens from Gaza, who were subjected to the crime of enforced disappearance. 

The arrests were accompanied by crimes and violations, unprecedented in their level, and this continued after they were transferred to investigation and detention centers, prisons and camps, which have become areas for torture crimes. 

The Commission and the Club renewed their demands for international human rights institutions to restore their necessary and required role in the face of the ongoing war of extermination and systematic crimes carried out by the occupation against prisoners and detainees.

They should assume their necessary responsibilities, and to overcome the terrifying state of helplessness that...
