Israel: Palestinian detainees systematically abused in 'torture camps', says B'Tselem
Israeli authorities are systematically abusing Palestinians in torture camps, subjecting them to severe violence and sexual assault, B'Tselem said on Monday. In a new 118-page report, the Israeli rights group accused the government of conducting a policy of institutionalised abuse and torture against all Palestinian detainees since 7 October. Torture was recorded in civilian and military detention facilities across Israel, leading to the death of at least 60 Palestinians while in Israeli custody in less than 10 months. Israeli rights group concludes the government is committing torture that amounts to a war crime and even a crime against humanity.
