“We condemn the occupation’s crime of placing racist slogans on the backs of our heroic prisoners, and treating them with cruelty and violence, in a blatant violation of humanitarian laws and norms,” Hamas has said in a statement, Al Jazeera reports.

The Palestinian group said this is “in contrast to the resistance’s firm commitment to moral values ​​in treating the occupation’s prisoners”.

The Israel Prison Service made Palestinian prisoners wear outfits with a Star of David logo that said “We will not forget or forgive” in Arabic.
