GAZA, (PIC)-- Riyadh Al-Ashqar, the information officer in the PA captives and ex-captives ministry in Gaza Strip, said that dozens of Israeli special forces stormed the Eishel jail in Bir Shiva and wreaked havoc on the captives' belongings.

In press statement he issued on Thursday, Ashqar accused the Israeli occupation soldiers of deliberately humiliating the Palestinian captives after three teams of fully-geared soldiers violently forced the captives out of their detention cells and searched them for "hidden" mobile phones and other communication means.

"At least seven rooms of Hamas captives and one room of the Islamic Jihad captives were stormed by the Israeli occupation soldiers on Tuesday morning and continued for 32 hours till Wednesday afternoon provoking the captives and leaving big damage on their belongings and personal foodstuff", Ashqar pointed out.

The ministry, in this regard, appealed to all concerned human rights and legal agencies in the United Nations and in the rest of the world to put an end to the repressive Israeli practices against the Palestinian captives, stressing that such practices violate international laws and statutes.
