    Over 650 prisoners⁢ are reportedly crammed into just nine cells, with 72 inmates typically confined to each overcrowded block under‍ inhumane conditions.

    Most alarmingly,nearly one-third of detainees are minors who should‌ be “in classrooms rather than cages.” Witnesses describe ⁤systematic physical and psychological violence by Zionist jailers against these child prisoners.

    The revelations follow earlier exposés by Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which obtained footage showing dozens of bound, naked Palestinian​ prisoners forced to lie prone while Zionist officers’ guard dogs barked‌ at them-despite no security incident occurring.

    Former Megiddo detainees confirmed to​ Haaretz that such ⁣abuse constitutes standard procedure, with regular physical and psychological torture by Zionist prison⁤ authorities.
