‘Three released Palestinian boys abducted, tortured by Israeli forces while seeking aid’
"Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCIP) is an independent, local Palestinian child rights organization dedicated to defending and promoting the rights of children living in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip."
"We remain the only Palestinian human rights organization specifically focused on child rights."

“Ramallah, November 13, 2025—Three Palestinian boys from Gaza released by Israeli forces during the recent prisoner exchange were abducted while seeking aid and subsequently tortured.
“Defense for Children International - Palestine field researchers interviewed three Palestinian boys who were released into Gaza by Israeli forces on October 13 as part of a truce agreement between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups.
....
“Palestinian children are being brutally tortured by Israeli soldiers while the United States continues sending weapons and funding in support of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP . “These three boys, alongside countless others, are facing a lifetime of recovery from Israeli forces’ torture. Israeli soldiers and officials must be held accountable for their pain.”
Faris Abu Jabal, 16.
^ "16-year-old Faris was abducted by Israeli forces while searching for aid with his father alongside about 25 other Palestinians near the Morag corridor the morning of September 11, according to documentation collected by DCIP. An Israeli soldier interrogated Faris, severely beating him after binding his hands and forcing him onto his knees.
“He struck my forehead so hard that it split open and required stitches,” Faris told DCIP. After the interrogation, the soldier blindfolded Faris and threw him into a hole, where soldiers kicked him and other detainees. The next morning, Israeli forces transported them out of Gaza to Sde Teiman in southern Israel, with a stop at the Karem Abu Salem crossing, where detainees were ordered to disembark and strip naked. Israeli soldiers dressed them in white coveralls and forced them to lie on their stomachs on the ground for an hour, during which soldiers kicked and abused them.
“Faris was placed in a cell with Palestinian adults for four days before being transferred to a cell for children which held about seven of them. After this, Faris was subjected to another brutal interrogation, during which he was handcuffed to a chair with his hands bound behind his back and his legs bound to the legs of the chair. Each time Faris answered, “I don’t know,” to an interrogator’s question, another interrogator beat his head and legs.
....
Starry: As a punishment, approximately a week before Faris’ release, he was suspended in the air, a metre off the ground, for 7 days. Faris said he had verbally reacted with a torrent of curses to provocations after his jailer showed him - through Faris' cell window - a fake photo of his mother lying with a soldier.
“Our soldiers raped and killed your mother and sisters”
“They bound my hands above my head and my legs below, each with a separate cuff, raising me about a meter off the ground,” Faris recounted. “Occasionally, they would strike my legs. I wet myself frequently during that time. They beat me with clubs on my legs and hurled vulgar insults at me, such as son of a bitch and other terms that I prefer not to repeat.
IDF MAJOR GENERAL YIFAT TOMER-YERUSHALMI LEAKED A 15 MINUTES GANG RAPE VIDEO TO ISRAELI N12 NEWS - SHOWING SOLDIERS RAPING AND ASSAULTING A DETAINED GAZA PALESTINIAN WITH A METAL ROD AT SDE TEIRMAN PRISON CAMP
2 CABINET MINISTERS AND A LIKUD LAWMAKER JUSTIFIED IN THE KNESSET THAT IT WAS ACCEPTABLE TO ANALLY RAPE MALE PRISONERS - THIS IS GUTTING THEM
IT’S ISRAELI POLICY
THE SOLDIERS IMPALED PRISONERS SIMILARLY TO ‘VLAD THE IMPALER,’ UPON WHOM THE LEGEND OF DRACULA WAS BORN. THIS TORTURE TAKES HOURS
‘Israel’s divisions and decay’
‘As Israel’s far-right ministers defend even the most blatant and revolting crimes, Chris Bambery analyses the descent of the country and its political system’
Analysis by Chris Bambery, 5 November 2025

“The Israeli Defence Force’s top military legal officer, military advocate general, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has been arrested and held in prison after she admitted leaking video footage of Israeli soldiers raping and assaulting a detained Palestinian from Gaza. The victim was hospitalised with broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to the indictment against the soldiers.
“The video footage shows soldiers gang raping a Palestinian detainee with a metal rod that caused the injuries to his anus and lungs. A doctor at Sde Teiman who examined a detainee who suffered sexual abuse stated, ‘I couldn’t believe an Israeli prison guard could do such a thing.’
....
“Israel’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, far from denouncing the rape, said that ‘IDF soldiers deserve respect’ and must not be treated as ‘criminals’.
“National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is responsible for the prison service, told Israeli media on the day of the reservists’ arrest that it was ‘shameful’ for Israel to arrest ‘our best heroes’. Smotrich’s video message went on to demand ‘an immediate criminal investigation to locate the leakers of the trending video that was intended to harm the reservists and that caused tremendous damage to Israel in the world and to exhaust the full severity of the law against them.’
“Ben-Gvir claimed that any action, even gang rape, is permissible if it is undertaken for the security of the state.
“When an Arab MP, Ahmad Tibi, asked in the Israeli Knesset if it was legitimate ‘to insert a stick into a person’s rectum’, [lawmaker] Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, responded: ‘If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!’
ISRAELI PM BENJAMIN NETANYAHU WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WHO LEAKED THE VIDEO OF GANG RAPES OF DETAINEES - BY IDF - AT SDE TEIRMAN PRISON THAN PROSECUTING THE CRIMINALS
Bibi is always saying “We are engaged in the battle of civilisation against barbarism’
BUT now that the leaked video has gone viral internationally, the National Zionist government will be seen as the barbarians they are:
Israel is not a civilised democracy..

Human Rights watchdog B’Tselem Report ‘Welcome to Hell’, The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps (August 2024)
“Welcome to Hell” is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023. B’Tselem collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps.:
