Palestinian Detainee's Desperate Plea: "Heard Her Voice, But Saw Nothing"
As part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal, nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees have been released from Israeli jails, many bearing visible signs of abuse. Among them is Mahmoud Abu Foul, a 28-year-old from northern Gaza who spent eight months in detention before being released last week.
Abu Foul's story is one of relentless torture and brutality at the hands of Israeli guards. The young man was arrested from Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya in late December and imprisoned in facilities notorious for their human rights abuses, including Sde Teiman prison. Guards there subjected Abu Foul to repeated beatings and torture, with one day's assault leaving him unconscious.
When he regained consciousness, Abu Foul discovered that the brutal treatment had taken a devastating toll on his physical health. He had lost his sight due to the torture, and despite his pleas for medical attention, guards only provided him with one type of eye drop, which offered no relief from the constant tearing, discharge, and pain.
The trauma Abu Foul endured was not unique. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights has documented 100 testimonies from former detainees held between October 2023 and 2024, revealing a pattern of systematic abuse across all Israeli prison facilities. Torture was found to be pervasive, with many prisoners reporting being held incommunicado without access to judges, lawyers, or family members.
The evidence is stark: nearly 75 Palestinian detainees have died in Israeli prisons since October 2023, and medical sources have found signs of abuse on some of the corpses. The United Nations estimates that these deaths were not natural but rather executions while restrained.
Despite hundreds of reported abuse cases, Israeli authorities have brought indictments in only two incidents, with no prison service personnel charged. This lack of accountability has emboldened the far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to defend the harsh treatment of Palestinian prisoners, stating that "summer camps and patience for the terrorists are over."
Abu Foul's release serves as a stark reminder of the dire human cost of Israel's prison policies. As he now lives in a tent near ruins without proper medical care for his eyes, he remains desperate for help to travel abroad for treatment. His story is a powerful testament to the need for accountability and reform.
"I couldn't see her," Abu Foul said, his voice cracking with emotion as he described hearing his mother's voice for the first time after eight months of torture. "But just hearing her was worth the whole world."

another day another brutal story comin in 
mahmoud abu foul is one of the 2000 palesstinians who got released from israeli jails as part of that ceasefire deal but his story is way more tragic than most 
he spent 8 months gettin beat up and tortured by israeli guards while they were supposed to be "guarding" him lol and now he can barely see because of it 
his eyes are all messed up from the eye drops they gave him which dont even work for pain relief 
75 palestinians died in those prisons since october last year and its clearly a case of executions while restrained but no one's gettin held accountable 
ben gvir is defendin this stuff like its no big deal wth the far right voters 
this is so sad the guy was tortured and now his eyes are messed up 
it's like, what kinda system allows this to happen? 
ppl r talkin bout "summer camps" but its not a summer camp, its torture chamber 
and this minister ben-gvir needs to be held responsible for his actions too, it's not like he's being objective here.
and we need more stories like this to be heard so that people actually care about holding those in power accountable.
I'm really worried about what's happening to Palestinians in Israeli jails. 2000 detainees have been released, but many are still suffering from abuse and torture. It's like Israel is saying "we're okay with this" even though it's super clear that it's not. 
This is wild fam... I mean, like, what's going on in those Israeli jails? 2k Palestinian detainees released and many with visible abuse signs? That's some crazy stuff. And Abu Foul's story, man... lost his sight to torture? Like, how can they even do that to a human being? 
The UN estimating 75 Palestinian detainees died in Israeli prisons due to torture? That's some serious red flags waving in my direction. 
. 2000 Palestinian detainees released without any real consequences for the ppl responsible 
. Abu Foul's story is just one example, but there are so many more stories out there of ppl suffering in silence 
. It's all about politics and PR for Israel 
, not about justice or human rights 
.
i mean, 75 deaths is no joke. and the fact that only two people have been charged so far? 
) but this whole situation needs to be taken seriously 
. We need more transparency and reform ASAP! 
Abu Foul is literally living in a tent without proper medical care and his mum can't see him because he lost her eye due to torture 
, can't believe he had to go thru that kinda trauma 
& pain 
2 many ppl r dyin in those prisons
