Commission of Detainees reports arrest details of detainee Qusai Shreim, who is held in Gilboa Prison

November 23, 2025

In a report issued on Sunday, and based on the account provided by its lawyer, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs documented the abuse Palestinian detainees face during their arrest, including savage and indiscriminate beatings, along with harmful violations against them and their families. Among those detainees is:
. Detainee Qusai Shreim (25 years old) from the town of Rujeib/Nablus. He was taken from his home at around four o’clock in the early hours of 6/12/2023. An Israeli military unit, whose members had their faces covered, stormed his house, separated him from his family, shackled his hands, blindfolded him, and placed him in a military vehicle. He was then transported to the “Huwara” camp and later moved to the “Petah Tikva” interrogation facility.

The detainee recounts: “I spent 68 days inside the Petah Tikva interrogation center under extremely harsh and degrading living conditions. During that period, I was placed inside the so-called ‘birds room’ (informants' cell). Afterwards, I was transferred to Megiddo Prison, and eventually to Gilboa Prison.”
Shreim is also suffering from scabies, which causes continuous itching and a spread of skin bumps across his body. The prison authorities intentionally ignore his condition and refrain from providing him with proper medical care.

The Commission emphasized that all detainees endure various forms of physical and psychological mistreatment, beginning with the moment of their arrest, through the interrogation process, and throughout their time in Israeli detention centers.
