PNN – A British newspaper pointed to the existence of a notorious underground prison in the occupied territories for torturing Palestinian prisoners.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the British newspaper The Guardian revealed in an exclusive report that the Israeli regime has imprisoned dozens of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip in an underground prison called Rekiot, attached to Ayalon Prison. These Palestinian prisoners are deprived of sunlight or contact with the outside world.

Executing Palestinian prisoners reflects occupiers’ fascist, apartheid policies.
The report states that these Palestinian prisoners are being held in conditions of deliberate torture, according to legal institutions. For example, among them are a nurse and a food vendor who is only 18 years old; civilians who have not been charged with any crimes. They are being beaten, as in other Israeli detention centers.
The report further emphasizes that the prison was built in the 1980s to hold members of Zionist criminal gangs. The notorious prison was closed, but reopened after Operation Storm al-Aqsa on the orders of Itamar Ben-Guer, the Israeli Minister of Internal Security. Ben-Guer has repeatedly boasted about the mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners. The prisoners are subjected to beatings, attacks by dogs, and are denied adequate medical care and food.
