A new report by the UN Commission of Inquiry has revealed that Israeli civilians were invited to military detention centres, where they witnessed, photographed and participated in the sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees.
The publication of the findings follows multiple public hearings held from 11 to 12 March, where senior human rights investigators reporting to the UN Human Rights Council shared testimonies of Palestinian detainees, including women and children, who were subjected to horrific treatment in Israeli detention centres.
In newly resurfaced footage, Kifaya Khraim from the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling detailed the abuse faced by Palestinian women, both in Gaza and the West Bank.
During the hearing in Geneva, she told the commission: "A woman was taken to Sde Teiman and she was nude-searched over and over again and filmed. And then she was raped twice by Israeli male soldiers, two of them at a time while videotaping her."
