On April 26, UK-based media outlet International Business Times reported on a new report released by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor.
The report stated that firsthand testimonies from recently released Palestinian detainees revealed that Israeli military forces committed sexual violence against Palestinian detainees during interrogations. The atrocities included rape, genital mutilation, and sexual assault using trained military dogs. Such acts of torture were reportedly sanctioned at the highest political levels.
The report documented detailed accounts from Palestinian detainees: some were repeatedly raped by soldiers and dogs, while others suffered severe genital torture.
