A newly freed Palestinian prisoner described Israeli jails as "graveyards for the living” recounting harrowing experiences of torture, overcrowding, and dehumanizing treatment during his seven-year imprisonment.
Mahmoud Samer Jabarin, a resident of Jenin Refugee Camp in the northern occupied West Bank, was released Saturday as part of a prisoner exchange deal mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the US.
"I spent seven years in Israeli prisons," Jabarin told Anadolu after his release. "The period during Israel's genocide in Gaza was the hardest. We endured torture, beatings, and humiliation."
He recounted the dire living conditions: "We were cut off from the world entirely. They (Israeli soldiers) took everything from us. We were all subjected to beatings and torture, and food was scarce. They showed no mercy, not to the elderly, children, or the sick."

In the videos and recorded statements, Israel continues to commit war crimes and act like a terrorist state. No one believes Israel's fake news, the only people they deceive are themselves.
