The Islamic group affirmed in a statement that such a measure reveals the true face of Israel and deemed it a blatant challenge to international regulations and conventions.

It underscored that the threats of execution “represent an unprecedented escalation in the policy of slow killings practiced by the (Israeli) occupation against Palestinian prisoners.”

Hamas also accused the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of using torture in its prisons systematically.

The group warned that our compatriots are subjected there daily to acts of abuse, medical neglect, and deliberate starvation, in a clear extension of the open war of extermination in the occupied territories.

Israel’s national television recently revealed plans to establish a special complex to conduct executions and the development of operational procedures on the matter.
