Israeli Arrests of Palestinians: Families Recount Humiliating Detentions

Dozens of Palestinian men were stripped to their underwear, beaten, and detained by Israeli soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip. The arrests were part of a mass arrest campaign against residents and displaced people in multiple buildings and two UN schools. Eyewitnesses and relatives of the detainees reported severe abuse and humiliation, with some detainees left half-naked on the street for 19 hours. The Israeli military released some detainees, while others were taken to an unknown location. Eyewitnesses suggested they might have been taken to a detention center in Zikim. The detainees include academics, journalists, teachers, students, and blue-collar workers, contradicting Israeli claims that they were members of armed factions.
