US ‘deeply concerned' after report alleges Gaza prisoners abused at Israeli facility
2024-05-12
[IsraelTimes] Citing Israeli whistleblowers and freed detainees, CNN describes beatings, psychological abuse, medical neglect, prisoners tied near-naked to beds; IDF denies improper treatment
CNN. But when one is looking for an excuse, any source will do.
The United States has said it is "deeply concerned" over a recent report alleging abuse of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

in the Strip.

Citing two Israeli whistleblowers and a Paleostinian doctor who was held in the Sde Teiman facility in the Negev, the report detailed alleged widespread abuse of detainees, including extreme use of physical restraints, beatings, neglect of medical problems, arbitrary punishments and more.

Most of the detainees at the facility are suspected terror operatives arrested during the months-long Gaza war, though it is believed that some are snuffies arrested in Israel during the atrocities of October 7.

Suspected terror operatives are legally allowed to be held for 45 days before they must either be released or moved on to the care of the Israel Prison Service.

The two Israeli sources said prisoners were forced to sit up straight for long hours, blindfolded much of the time, and were not allowed to speak. A common form of punishment for those who spoke or otherwise offended was to force them to hold their arms over their head for an hour. Some had their arms zip-tied to the fence over their heads.

The military denied widespread abuse, telling CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
: "The IDF ensures proper conduct towards the detainees in jug. Any allegation of misconduct by IDF soldiers is examined and dealt with accordingly. In appropriate cases, Military Police investigations are opened when there is suspicion of misconduct justifying such action."

It added that "detainees are handcuffed based on their risk level and health status. Incidents of unlawful handcuffing are not known to the authorities."

Another of the Israeli sources shared photos he took at the detention facility at Sde Teiman, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the Gaza border, which show around a hundred blindfolded men in grey tracksuits in a floodlit area surrounded by a barbed wire fence.

"[The beatings] were not done to gather intelligence. They were done out of Dire Revenge," one whistleblower quoted by CNN said. "It was punishment for what [the Paleostinians] did on October 7 and punishment for behavior in the camp."

CNN said it spoke to at least 12 people who were held either at Sde Teiman or at other similar facilities and were later released. One said he was held for 44 days, including for many weeks after security forces determined he was not a combatant — as they wanted to use him as a go-between.
