Director of the Gaza-based center Rifat Hamdouna identified the seven as Tarek Izz Ad-Din, Abd Obaid, Yahya Ighbaria, Mohammed Daboos, Nasser Oais, Majid Al-Masri, and Moatasem Yassine. He said it was unclear how long they would be forced to stay in the cells.
Hamdouna called the move a violation of the rights of the prisoners under the Geneva Conventions governing prisoners of war, and called on human rights institutions to intervene and ensure the men's safety.
