Israeli groups receive testimonies of 22 Palestinian prisoners shot at close range in Israeli detention
JERUSALEM, October 15, 2026 (WAFA) – Two leading Israeli human rights groups revealed on Thursday that they received testimonies of 22 Palestinian prisoners shot at close range in Israeli detention centers, according to Arab News.
Physicians for Human Rights Israel and the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) said that they have documented “22 testimonies and reports from attorneys, prisoners’ families, and released prisoners point to the dangerous practice of firing rubber- or plastic-like bullets at close range inside prison wings.”
The testimonies span seven detention facilities, including Ofer, Ganot, Ktzi’ot, Gilboa, Megido, Nitzan and Eshel.
Torture in Israel Today
Does torture exist in Israel?
It definitely is.
Every year, the public committee against torture in Israel (PCATI) receives dozens of complaints alleging to physical and psychological torture used by ISA (Shabak) interrogators. Torture methods reported include painful shackling, sleep deprivation, exposure to extreme heat or cold, threats, sexual harassment, and religion- based humiliation. In addition, instances of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by the Israel police and Israel prison service are regularly reported.
Is torture legal?
No.
Torture and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment are absolutely prohibited, both by international as well as Israeli law. However, Israel has yet to enact a law explicitly prohibiting torture, despite its previous commitment to do so.
Israel’s Genocide in Gaza Persists One Year into the So-Called “Ceasefire” | Report

‘More Performative Killing at Sea’: Another Trump Boat Strike Leaves 4 Dead
Citing a federal memo that it aims to keep concealed from the public, the Trump administration claims to be at war with drug cartels and that the killings in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean are justified. Legal experts and human rights advocates argue the bombings are at least war crimes, if not outright murder.
Sunday’s strike was the administration’s first confirmed boat bombing since Ben Saul, the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism, said last month that even if the targeted vessels were engaged in drug trafficking, there are no “international legal rights to unilaterally use military force” to counter cartels.

Israeli forces have tightened restrictions around the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, closing roads and entrances to several towns and villages, Wafa news agency reported.
The development comes after Israeli authorities decided to impose a “comprehensive closure” on the occupied West Bank and close crossings into the territory until Saturday for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Israeli minister calls for war in West Bank, says Israel should ‚do what it did in Gaza‘
„I certainly have solutions. I think we need to go to war in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). To do there what we did in Gaza. To dismantle the Palestinian Authority, which is a terror authority,“ he said.
Asked what war would mean, Smotrich pointed to earlier Israeli operations in West Bank refugee camps.
„We already did it. There are three refugee camps there that are empty, that we evacuated the population from for its protection and cleansed of all the terror. I want to kill all the terrorists and collect all the weapons,“ he said.

Palestinian death toll in Gaza war rises above 74,000 since the war began and other Mideast news
The Palestinian death toll from the nearly three-year Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 74,000, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
While a ceasefire that took effect last Oct. 10 has halted the heaviest fighting, Israeli strikes have continued in what the military has said are responses to threats or attacks.
Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
We live at a dangerous moment.
But our future is not predetermined.
War is a choice.
Peace is also a choice.
And sometimes —
the greater courage, lies, not in starting a war —
but in preventing one.
Pakistan has made its choice.
We have chosen dialogue over confrontation.
We have chosen cooperation over coercion.
We have chosen peace over war.
Let this eighty-first General Assembly make it unanimous choice.
For ourselves.
For our children.
And for generations yet unborn.
Let us restore trust. Let us preserve peace.
And let us prove that even in a divided world —
humanity can still choose to stand together.
I thank you.
