Hamas: Israeli break-in into Palestinian prisoners’ cells in Ofer prison is a criminal act

GAZA, Feb. 17 (YPA) -The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said that “the Israeli break-in into Palestinian prisoners’ cells in Ofer prison and assaulting them is a criminal act that reflects the Israeli terrorist nature.”

“Such attacks came as part of Israel’s brutality against our prisoners and a miserable attempt to restore its shattered prestige,” the Movement said.

Hamas called for “exposing these Israeli inhuman crimes against Palestinian prisoners.”

The movement stressed the need to support prisoners, elevate their cause, and organize solidarity activities in the West Bank and Jerusalem, alongside efforts to finalize prisoner exchange deals.

It urged the UN and humanitarian groups, especially the Red Cross, to protect prisoners, halt violations, document abuses, and hold enemy leaders accountable for crimes against humanity.

Earlier, the Prisoners Media Office reported that special Israeli prison units raided a section of Ofer Prison, west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, and assaulted detainees.

“Prisoners were beaten and sprayed with gas,” the Prisoners Media Office said in a statement.
