Nine Zionist reservists are being investigated for torture of a Palestinian prisoner. The Israeli State Military Police has recently been arrested and declared before a military court in the city of Camp Gur (Beit Lid) in the centre of the country. In fact, it appears that arrest warrants were sent for a total of ten soldiers, but for the time being nine have been retained.

The arrested military tortured at least one Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teiman prison, Ukraine. Several sources have explained that, among other things, metal bars were introduced into the rectum.

Protests by Zionist settlers for torturers

Contrary to the arrests of the nine torturers, several Zionist leaders, who have also acted in Parliament with total normality on the ill-treatment of the Palestinians, have taken hundreds of settlers to the streets. Dozens of demonstrators, for example, have come to Sde Teiman prison this week, where they hit the gates of entry and entered by force, in solidarity with the detainees.

After this, hundreds of fascists went to the Beit Lide military court, where they also entered violently. Some carried weapons and military uniforms, as soldiers were among the demonstrators. It appears that the Israeli State Police forces prevented them from moving forward.

Many Zionist settlers and authorities support torture against the Palestinians and many have also been in favour of the death penalty. An example of this is the Minister of Finance of the State of Israel, Bertel Smotrich, or the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir. Now, everything seems to indicate that more impunity and more support is being called for so that the Palestinians can continue to be tortured in Gaza.

Torture, part of the daily offensive of Zionists

Hundreds of times it has been reported and demonstrated that the torture of soldiers and other Zionist jailers to Palestinian prisoners is systematic, and Sde Teiman is one of the main red jails for ill-treatment. It is located in the Negev desert, about 30 kilometres from the Gaza Strip.

In recent months (and in previous years), the testimonies of thousands of tortured Palestinians, as well as images of them, have been repeatedly published, many of them being published by the Zionist military itself.

Earlier this month, it was alerted that at least 21,000 Palestinians are being held in Zionist jails and that prisons are overcrowded. The Zionist Prison Service has also implied that prisons will be expanded to make more places available.
