Israeli forces kill four Palestinian prisoners, rights group says

The Palestinian Prisoners Society reported that four Palestinian prisoners were killed by Israeli soldiers upon their release at the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing leading to Gaza.

“The bodies of one of the men was recovered yesterday and the rest this morning, and pictures taken show that their hands were bound, and there was evidence of torture on their bodies,” the rights group said, describing their killing as a “field execution”.

Since the war broke out on 7 October, Israel has detained at least 9,700 Palestinians, with 3,380 placed in “administrative detention” without charges or trials, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society.
