Hamas asks to investigate Israel’s abuses and torture of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza

The Islamist group Hamas has called on the international community, and especially the International Committee of the Red Cross, to investigate cases of abuse and torture in Israeli detention centers against detained Gazans, as denounced by pro-human rights groups.

“The horrible testimonies about the conditions of the Palestinian detainees in the Zionist prisons continue, the last of which was that of several Palestinians kidnapped in Gaza and released today from the Zionist military prison ‘Sde Teman’,” Hamas said in a statement last night.

“Human rights institutions, in particular the International Committee of the Red Cross, must work to follow up on the conditions of the Palestinian arrested in these fascist detentions and put an end to the serious violations to which they are exposed,” he added.

His words come hours after a young Palestinian, allegedly released from Sde Teman, where he was detained for a month by Israel, was recorded yesterday in a hospital in a state of shock, barely unable to speak coherently and with signs of torture on his wrists and ankles.

On March 7, the Israeli media Haaretz denounced that at least 27 people detained in the Gaza Strip and placed in Israeli military custody had died since the beginning of the war on October 7, either at the Sde Teiman military base, the Anatot detention camp or during interrogations.

Already in December, Haaretz revealed that those arrested in Sde Teiman could remain handcuffed and blindfolded for whole days, and an internal source assured that soldiers tended to mistreat prisoners, which coincides with the testimonies of other freed Palestinians

Meanwhile, the Israeli Army intensified its attacks and incursions in the heart of the city of Rafah, south of Gaza, on Friday, with the destruction of residential neighborhoods and hand-to-hand fighting with Hamas militiamen.

As Palestinian sources confirmed to EFE, the attacks are now concentrated in Al Auda, in the center of the city of Rafah, and in Tal al Sultan, a neighborhood in the northwest.

“The whole city of Rafah is an area of Israeli military operations,” Ahmed al Sofi, mayor of Rafah, said today in a statement released by Hamas on Telegram. “The city is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe and people are dying inside its tents due to the Israeli bombings.”

According to the mayor, there is no medical center left in operation in the city and the residents and displaced people – according to UNRWA about 65,000 people, of the 1.4 million Gazans that the city was homed before the offensive – cannot cover their daily needs for food and water.

The third point of intense military activity, as local sources reported to EFE, is still the so-called Philadelphia corridor, the border line with Egypt that Israel aspires to control, according to military sources, in order to cut the network of tunnels that supplies Hamas helps it both to rearm and attack.

Since this morning, at least 22 people have died in the Strip, according to medical sources, including five municipal workers, including the head of the emergency service, denounced the city council of Rafah.

Fatal attacks were also recorded in Zeitun, in the northern city of Gaza, which caused at least eight deaths, and in the central areas of Nuseirat and Deir el Balah, according to the Palestinian agency Wafa.

In the north, the lack of food and food is still a critical issue. According to UN data, of the 61 coordinated humanitarian assistance missions north of Gaza, only 28 – 46% – were facilitated by the Israeli authorities.

The reality in the enclave is that only a tiny minority can eat on a regular basis, in the absence of food or affordable prices. Many do it once a day and there is a lack of milk and porridge, denounce organizations on the ground.

The NGO Doctors Without Borders warned today of the psychological trauma that the war is causing to the children of Gaza, who are losing the desire to continue living surrounded by so much death.

“What we are seeing in young children, especially, are symptoms of depression because they have lost everything. They have lost their parents, their siblings, their home, their toys, everything that made their daily life normal,” the organization said in a statement.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa

Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.

Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.

This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.

Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain

Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.

The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.

The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.

“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.

The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.
