Israeli forces beat a Palestinian prisoner who escaped and was subsequently caught, a prisoners’ rights group alleged Wednesday.
Zakaria Zubeidi was allegedly physically beaten during the operation to arrest him, and sustained a broken jaw and two broken ribs. He was treated at an Israeli hospital following the arrest, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said in a press release.
