Healthcare workers held in Israeli prisons describe systematic torture, a damning accusation against Israel as international scrutiny of its wartime conduct grows.

• Palestinian healthcare workers detained by Israel say they were tortured by prison guards and military personnel.
• Detainees describe electric shocks to the genitals and severe physical abuse.
• Prisoners say they were blindfolded and handcuffed for 60 straight days, forced to kneel or sit without lying down.
• Regular beatings and psychological torture were part of the treatment, according to survivor testimony.

Outlook: These accounts will fuel more international pressure on Israel over its prison system and treatment of detainees from Gaza.
