On Tuesday, Israel released dozens of Palestinians whose army had arrested them from the Gaza and northern governorates during its ground operations as part of its ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since last October 7.

This war left about 122,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children and the elderly.

Field sources, who requested to remain anonymous, told Anadolu’s correspondent that Israel “released about 50 prisoners from the Gaza and northern governorates.”

Meanwhile, medical sources told Anadolu Agency that “33 prisoners, out of the total prisoners released on Tuesday, arrived at Kamal Adwan Hospital (north) to receive treatment as a result of the difficult health conditions they are suffering from.”

These sources, who preferred to remain anonymous, added in an interview with Anadolu Agency that a number of prisoners “show signs of torture on their bodies.”

Since last October 27, the army has been carrying out ground operations in various parts of the Gaza Strip, which has been besieged by Tel Aviv for the 18th year, and where about 2.3 million Palestinians live.

There are no statistics available regarding the number of Palestinians arrested by the Israeli army from Gaza, while human rights organizations and Israeli media reported that dozens of them were killed as a result of torture and detention conditions inside Israel.

Israel continues its war on Gaza despite two UN Security Council resolutions to stop the fighting immediately, and orders from the International Court of Justice to end the invasion of Rafah (south), and to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation in the Strip.

Israel is also challenging the request of International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan to issue arrest warrants against its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and its Defense Minister, Yoav Galant for their responsibility for “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity” in Gaza.
