Even Wikipedia Admits The IDF R a p e, Torture, Murder Of Men, Boys, Women And Girls,
During the ongoing Israel–Hamas war, Israeli male and female soldiers, guards as well as medical staff have reportedly committed wartime s e x u a l violence against Palestinian children, women and men including r a p e, gang-r a p e, sexualized torture and mutilation.
UN experts cited cases of Palestinian women being raped by male Israeli soldiers. Palestinian boys and men have also been raped and subjected to torture, and in some cases, the torture has led to the victim’s death.
In its legally mandated June 2024 investigative report, the UN concluded: “The frequency, prevalence and severity of s e x u a l and gender-based crimes perpetrated against Palestinians indicate that specific forms of S e x u a l and gender-based violence are part of Israeli Security Forces (ISF) operating procedures.”
The Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem released a report on systematic Israeli abuse, torture, s e x u a l violence and r a p e of Palestinian detainees, calling the Israeli prison system a “network of torture camps”.
The report includes extensive testimonies from Palestinians. The Guardian also interviewed Palestinian detainees, and reported they “back up the report by rights which says jails should be labeled ‘torture camps’.”
Ra p e and s e x u a l abuse of girls and women.
According to United Nations reports, Palestinian women and girls were subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment by the IDF, such as they were denied menstruation pads, food and medicine, and were severely beaten, raped, assaulted, threatened with r a p e and s e x u a l violence, and subjected to multiple forms of other s e x u a l assaults.
Palestinian women and girls were also stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers. Israeli troops had photographed female detainees in “degrading circumstances” and that the photos had been uploaded online.
S e x u a l abuse, r a p e, and sexualized torture of boys and men.
The UN report notes that “Men and boys experienced specific persecutory acts, including s e x u a l and gender-based violence amounting to torture and inhuman and cruel treatment.”
Many detained victims were forced to strip in public and walk while being s e x u a l l y harassed, at times in front of their family members who were forced to watch. While both genders were forced to do this, men and boys were reportedly targeted specifically.
Men detained at the Sde Teiman detention camp stated Israeli forces had inserted “hot metal sticks” and “electric sticks” into their rectums, resulting in the death of at least one man. A Palestinian prisoner released from the detention camp gave testimony that prisoners were raped by dogs.
A journalist who was arrested while covering the Israeli siege of Al-Shifa Hospital, testified that he had witnessed systematic use of r a p e, s e x u a l violence, torture and killing in the detention camp.
One detainee “was completely stripped and electrocuted, his g e n i t a l s were yanked”. “When he talked about r a p e s I asked him, ‘Muhammad, you’re a journalist, are you sure about this?” “But he said he saw it with his own eyes, and that what he was telling me was only a small part of what was happening there.”
