RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- More than a dozen Gazan prisoners being held in 
Israeli jails have lost members of their families to Israel's assault on 
the Strip, a Palestinian prisoner's rights group said Wednesday.

The Palestinian Prisoner's Society said in a statement that Salah Hamad, 
Hamza Abu Sawawin, Rami Zweidi, Taysir Breiem, Ahmad al-Sufi, Saddam 
Ashur, in addition to several others, had lost members of their family 
as a result of Israeli attacks.

Some of the prisoners have lost their entire families to Israeli 
strikes, and some of their homes had been destroyed.

A PPS lawyer who recently visited the prisoners in Nafha prison said 
that many of them were in a state of trauma after discovering that their 
parents or families had been killed in Gaza.

"Some of them started to attempt to identify those killed ... on TV," 
the lawyer said.

The statement said the prisoners were experiencing "the hardest days" of 
their lives.

Israel's latest offensive on Gaza, dubbed "Operation Protective Edge," 
has left over 650 Palestinians dead, most of them civilians. Over 4,000 
Palestinians have been injured.

Thirty-one Israelis, all but two of them soldiers, have also died in the 
fighting, in addition to a foreign civilian worker who died Wednesday 
after being hit by mortar fire in southern Israel.
