In July 2024, soldiers at the detention facility tortured and sexually assaulted a Palestinian detainee, leaving him with serious injuries, including rectal damage.
In March, the military prosecutor dropped charges against five soldiers in the case, drawing widespread criticism from human rights groups.
The head of the military defence counsel, Itai Ofir, said at the time that the charges were dismissed due to “complexities in the evidentiary structure” and “difficulties” arising from the detainee’s release to Gaza.
According to the indictment, the soldiers beat the detainee, dragged him on the ground, stepped on his body, electrocuted him, and one soldier stabbed him in the buttocks, resulting in broken ribs and a punctured lung.
More than 9,600 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons, including women and children, where they face torture, starvation, and medical neglect, leading to the deaths of dozens, according to Palestinian and Israeli rights groups.
