REPORT: IDF Plan Calls For Hot Water, Expanded Medical Care For Nukhba Terrorists

Jul 5, 2026·2 min read

An internal IDF work plan for 2025 has revealed a series of measures aimed at improving conditions for imprisoned Hamas Nukhba terrorists, including the immediate installation of hot water systems in their cells and expanded medical services.

According to the document, obtained by Army Radio correspondent Tuvia Yagelnik, the plan was drafted following the fallout from the Sde Teiman controversy and outlines infrastructure upgrades intended to bring detention facilities into compliance with legal requirements. Among the most controversial measures are the installation of hot water in terrorist cells, the addition of more doctors, and the creation of a dedicated dental treatment station for the prisoners.

The document also places significant emphasis on what the IDF calls strengthening ethical conduct among the soldiers guarding the terrorists. Planned initiatives include ethics seminars for commanders, the appointment of “ethics officers” at detention facilities, specialized training on ethical dilemmas, and the prominent display of the IDF’s code of ethics throughout the compounds.

Attorney Michael Litvak, who obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information request, sharply criticized the plan.

“Once again, we see that the State of Israel has been required to provide terrorists with hot water while our hostages were held in terror tunnels, tortured, sexually abused, and starved,” Litvak said. “The time has come to move the terrorists from prison to the grave.”
