 In a statement, the Israeli military said Nassar was a Hamas operative in the past, which Nassar denies. It says he was detained for suspected terrorism, but released after being cleared of those suspicions. The Israeli military says conditions for detainees are adequate, from three meals a day to clothing to hygiene. Israel's prison services said it was unaware of Nassar's claims of mistreatment, and quote, "...as far as we know, no such events have occurred."
