Muazzaz Abayat, a Palestinian who was detained in an Israeli prison, shows his wounds and talks about torture in a hospital room in Bethlehem after being released. The Palestinian foreign ministry, citing figures from advocacy and rights groups, said Israel currently detains some 9,600 Palestinians. Arrests and Israeli military raids in the West Bank have intensified since the Gaza war broke out with Hamas's October 7 attack. "We were unjustly detained, killed, and severely beaten with iron clubs and subjected to all kinds of torture as prisoners," says Muazzaz Abayat. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
