![Sitting in her home in the Aida refugee camp in the West Bank, Hanin al-Masaeed recounts 18 days of physical and psychological abuse in four Israeli prisons.](https://s.france24.com/media/display/43f01714-03f2-11ef-a863-005056a97e36/w:980/p:16x9/en%20foco%20cisjordania%20presos%20palestinos%20israel%20hanin.png)
The prisoners in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank are key to an eventual pact between Israel and Hamas. However, motivated by revenge for the 7-O massacres, the Hebrew authorities are punishing Palestinian civilians, with more indiscriminate arrests and imprisonment and serious attacks behind bars. In overcrowded centers, and without independent supervision, NGOs and testimonies portray systematic humiliation and beatings; deprivation of contact with family or doctors; and, in more extreme cases, prison deaths.
