On October 19 or 2O, 6 displaced Palestinian from the Jenin refugee camp were arrested by Israeli soldiers when they went to buy a few things from a supermarket in Burqin (West Bank), and held inside a military barracks in the camp, where they endured a full day of abuse and humiliation, and were beaten after being stripped of their clothes inside a military barracks.

Fidaa Salameh, a displaced Palestinian from Jenin Refugee Camp, was one of these young abused: “Suddenly, a vehicle cut us off on the road. The first thing they did was order us to strip,” “They poured beer and cold water on us, turned a fan toward us, and kept hitting us. My face and body were swollen, my back and arms covered in bruises. They brought a knife close to our chests and said, ‘You’ll die today.’

They were subjected to a day-and-a-half of continuous beatings, threats with a blade, and abusive treatment inside a military barracks. Several sustained serious injuries, and all were stripped before being released in a deserted area.
