"They took us from our homes, tied up, and detained us" says Yazid Al Arqan, one in a group of Palestinian men arriving at Al Aqsa hospital in Deir el-Balah who say they were arrested and held by the Israeli army. Al Arqan says that the men were held "without food or water for five days" and "tortured" before being released and told to head to southern Gaza. Another of the men, Nemir Abu Ras, says Israeli soldiers accused them of being members of Hamas. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
