There is one piece of info missing from the reporting on the horrifying gang rape of a Palestinian detainee by Israeli soldiers in Sde Teiman.
What was the object the soldiers inserted to the prisoner’s rectum? Why no one is mentioning that?
2
There are at least 2 Israeli accounts who exposed that it was a CELL PHONE, that the Israeli soldiers inserted in the Palestinian detainee rectum and started calling it while laughing & filming.
Then they couldn’t get it out, the Palestinian detainee was severely injured.
3
The doctor who examined him talks about the case in this interview and the journalist mentions that the soldiers inserted a “round object” into his rectum. He also brings info from his medical report. It’s horrifying.
Watch here:

The accounts re the cell phone were not challenged.
Israeli media avoided much details but said it’s sodomy. One journalist said though, it was something he, the detainee, couldn’t do it to himself.
Then comes a Knesset member & unintentionally confirms the cell phone detail.

In this interview, Knesset member Limor Son Har-Melech from Ben Gvir’s party confirms this while inventing a story to cover it up, she claims the detainee got a phone from a lawyer who visited him, and hid it into his buttock, the soldiers only wanted to take it out.
6
She didn’t know a video will be published that does not go well with her lies. She will continue defending the rapists anyhow.
She also probably didn’t know that the only lawyer who was allowed ONCE in Sde Teiman, met only one detainee and behind glass & metal wall.

One last point:
Israeli media does not publish this video or exposed the case because they care about Palestinians or human rights. They’ve been the cheerleaders of this genocide all along the way. They publish it because they care about the ICJ case.

The so called Israeli “left” was silent for months as their army was destroying, massacring and starving in Gaza, committing the most barbaric crimes in modern history. They either legitimized their army’s actions or at best remained silent. 1/4
The Israeli so called “left” woke up only after ICJ discussed Israel’s genocide and it was clear Israel is becoming a pariah state. They wanted to distance themselves from their government for self interest, but they are also complicit.
The “bothsidesm” won’t cover up. 2/4
2/4
They talk about “peace”! Peace with whom? a completely decimated Gaza? 2m Palestinians whom their lives were destroyed? If they were sincere they would talk about accountability. But no, they will be the first to tell you “boycott will harm our work” (Just wait for it)

Thread:
I translated main parts of this important testimoney from a released Palestinian prisoner Ramzi el-Abbasi, it adds up to the testimonies from other released prisoners about the horrors in Israeli prisons amid complete absence of the @ICRC. 1
“I left behind 7000 prisoners in a dire situation. For 60 days we didn’t see the sun, 60 days of beating, the beating “meals” were given to us in the morning, midday and evening, in an unimaginable ways, especially in the Naqab prison. It’s a cemetery for the alive.” 2
"There are more than 3000 prisoners (in Naqab prison), among them prisoners whom their legs are broken, their arms are broken, or with open head injuries, a prisoner, who was with us in the same section, was killed in cell 26." 3
A THREAD regarding the release of the Israeli women and the two children by Hamas fighters:
1/ The video capturing the release dates back to Saturday, October 7, published by Aljazeera on October 12. The release took place on Saturday as Hamas fighters could escort them to the border, while Israel had not yet taken control over it.
2/ Israeli website Ynet also stated the video was from Saturday. Remarkably, Israel maintained silence about their release. Their release from Saturday became known, only when Aljazeera published the video on October 12.
