GAZA, PALESTINE - NOVEMBER 6, 2025: Several Palestinian men from the Gaza Strip were released by Israel under a ceasefire deal on Thursday, Nov. 6, after months of illegal Israeli detention.

The freed captives were transported by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah for medical examinations.

Speaking to Anadolu, several of those released said they had been held in harsh conditions and deprived of adequate food, medicine and sleep. Some compared their detention to “a hell-like experience,” saying they were not treated in accordance with basic humanitarian standards.

Palestinian prisoners earlier released by the Israeli army showed signs of abuse, malnutrition, and severe injuries caused by torture during their detention.

On Oct. 13, Israel released nearly 2,000 prisoners, including 1,700 from Gaza, under a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement signed between Hamas and Israel. Most of those released at the time arrived in poor health, with several recounting experiences of torture, starvation, and humiliation inside Israeli prisons.

More than 10,000 Palestinians, including women and children, remain imprisoned in Israel, where they endure torture, starvation, and medical neglect, conditions that have led to the deaths of numerous detainees, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations.

Phase one of the ceasefire deal includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Israel has killed nearly 69,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,000 others in its genocide in Gaza since October 2023.
