In the investigation conducted in Israel, 9 soldiers who were accused of torturing a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility were arrested. The Army Radio had stated that all the arrested soldiers were suspected of "seriously mistreating the detainee" and carrying out the mistreatment together. It was learned that the detainee, who was also subjected to rape, was taken to the hospital for treatment and surgery. RAID ON MILITARY BASE DUE TO ARRESTSFollowing the news of the arrests, Israeli far-right protesters gathered in front of the Beit Lid Base in central Israel, where the 9 soldiers were being interrogated, demanding the release of the soldiers. The far-right extremists, who clashed with the soldiers, later stormed the military base. REQUEST FOR INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION FROM HAMAS AND PALESTINIAN INSTITUTIONSHamas and Palestinian institutions called for an international committee to investigate the incident of a Palestinian being subjected to sexual abuse and torture at the Sde Teiman military base in southern Israel, where Palestinians from Gaza are held. Hamas made a written statement regarding the sexual abuse and torture incident at the Sde Teiman military base in the south, where Palestinians are held. The statement used the expression, "The cruel violations suffered by thousands of people detained from the Gaza Strip at the Sde Teiman military base confirm Israel's deviated nature from humanitarian values, which is implemented by sadistic Zionist officers and soldiers of the occupation army." FOOTAGE OF TORTURE RELEASEDMeanwhile, Israel's N12 channel released footage of the soldiers who raped the Palestinian detainee and were released after being arrested. The footage included a scandalous detail. It was observed that while the Israeli soldier was raping the Palestinian detainee, other soldiers tried to prevent the moments from being recorded by the security camera with the shields in their hands.
