The Palestinian Asra Media Office (AMO) revealed on Wednesday that 
senior Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti sustained multiple rib fractures 
after being violently assaulted by Israeli prison guards.

According to the AMO statement on Telegram, Barghouti was attacked 
during his transfer from Rimon Prison to Megiddo Prison in 
mid-September. “He lost consciousness and suffered fractures in four 
ribs as a result of the beating,” the statement said, accusing a special 
Israeli prison suppression unit for the assault.

Barghouti, one of the most prominent and widely respected Palestinian 
leaders, has been imprisoned by the Israeli occupation since 2002. He is 
serving five life sentences on charges linked to the Second Intifada 
(Al-Aqsa Uprising), which erupted in the fall of 2000.

In August, Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir 
stormed Barghouti’s cell and directly threatened him, saying, “Anyone 
who kills our children or women will be erased. You will never defeat 
us,” according to footage released by Israeli media outlets.

The incident has sparked outrage among Palestinian political factions 
and human rights advocates, who say it reflects the Israeli escalating 
policy of repression and humiliation against Palestinian prisoners.
