Amnesty International has released a report documenting cases of torture of 27 Palestinian former detainees, including a 14-year-old boy.
All the former prisoners were held for a period of four and a half months by Israel and denied access to lawyers and contact with their families.
The organisation added that Israel's Unlawful Combatants Law enables the army to arbitrarily detain Palestinians from Gaza indefinitely, without charge or trial.
