There have been recent reports highlighting the poor treatment of Palestinian detainees. According to Amnesty International, there has been a significant increase in the use of administrative detention by Israeli authorities, which often involves arbitrary detention without charge or trial

Testimonies and video evidence indicate that detainees have been subjected to severe beatings, humiliation, and other forms of ill-treatment

Additionally, a UN report has documented cases of torture and mistreatment of Palestinian detainees, including waterboarding and the release of dogs on detainees

Certainly. Here are some detailed accounts of the torture and ill-treatment faced by Palestinian detainees:
