'They spat in my face': Palestinians describe abuse at Gaza crossings
Palestinians report abuse, detention, and torture by Israeli forces at Gaza crossings, including the case of Mahmoud al-Najjar, a scholar arrested without notification to his family despite holding a travel permit. His family learned of his arrest through social media, and he was detained during a trip to obtain an Italian scholarship after surviving a 2024 Israeli bombardment that killed his family.
