Israel has opened an underground #prison for detainees from #Hamas and #Hezbollah groups where they are denied access to sunlight, according to Israeli media cited by the Anadolu news agency. According to the Israeli public broadcaster KAN, the facility, located in central #Israel, is designed to house “the most dangerous individuals” from Hamas’s elite forces and Hezbollah’s Radwan Unit. “This is their natural place, underground,” far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the police, reportedly told KAN. The broadcaster said some 75 detainees were currently being held at the underground prison. “Even the small window in the ward has been sealed off for the detainees,” it added. Describing the conditions in the underground prison as harsh, KAN said detainees there are shackled and confined to their cells for 23 hours a day. “They are allowed only one brief opportunity per day to step into a small, enclosed yard,” it added. “Even this small yard is completely closed and the sunlight can’t reach it, and detainees are allowed to go out into it once a day.” https://www.palestinechronicle.com/sunlight-cant-reach-it-israel-holds-detainees-in-underground-prison/ #IsraelTerroristState #Palestine #IsraelWarCrimes #HumanRights @palestine@a.gup.pe @mondoweiss@social.mondoweiss.net @palestinenews@gts.liberated.press
