Palestinian detainees allege torture and sexual abuse by Israeli captors (DUBBED)

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

Since the Hamas-led massacre on October 7th and Israel’s subsequent assault on Gaza, Israel has detained thousands of Palestinians in the strip.

Current figures show over 2,300 are still being held, while more than 1,900 have been released back into Gaza without any charge or explanation for why they were imprisoned in the first place.

Those released show clear signs of mistreatment but in testimony collected for this programme we can reveal shocking allegations of physical, psychological and sexual abuse inflicted on Palestinian detainees.

A warning there are distressing images and graphic descriptions of sexual abuse and offensive language in this report which contains material filmed for us by local journalists in Gaza.
