"Alarming Treatment: Gaza Activist's Ordeal in Israeli Detention"

Israeli forces have been accused of stripping, beating, and holding Palestinian detainees from Gaza in inhumane conditions, with reports of thousands being detained and held incommunicado. The United Nations human rights office has suggested that Israel's treatment of the detainees might amount to torture, while human rights defenders argue that it could violate international laws of war. Israeli military defends its actions, stating that detainees are suspected of involvement in terrorist activity and are treated in accordance with international law. The International Committee of the Red Cross is working on some 4,000 cases of Palestinians from Gaza who have vanished, nearly half believed to be detained by the Israeli military.
