Israel is in the process of phasing out the use of the detention camp of Sde Teiman in Israel’s Negev desert, as revealed by a state attorney during a recent hearing at Israel’s Supreme Court. The facility has been under scrutiny due to allegations of extreme abuse towards hundreds of Palestinian detainees from Gaza.
State attorney Aner Helman informed the court that 700 inmates have already been relocated to the Ofer military facility in the occupied West Bank, and an additional 500 are scheduled to be transferred in the coming weeks. Approximately 200 detainees are expected to remain at Sde Teiman, with the state committing to provide an update on their status within three days.
