HeadlineFeb 18, 2025

Palestinian officials in Gaza have accused Israel of violating the monthlong ceasefire 266 times. Since the ceasefire began on January 19, Israeli attacks have killed at least 132 Palestinians.

Meanwhile, newly freed Palestinian prisoners have revealed new details about being tortured inside Israeli prisons. Tarek Rabie Safi spoke in Khan Younis after being freed in the latest captive swap.

Tarek Rabie Safi: “I was among those detained at Hamad City in Khan Younis on March 3rd, 2024. I was held by the Israeli army in the Gaza envelope, which is in Sde Teiman military detention center, where I stayed for four months and I was subjected to torture of our bodies, physical torture, and hunger. We were also subjected to torture by stray dogs, the dogs of the Israeli army.”
