Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) soldiers were exposed for raping a Palestinian prisoner in a video released by “Israeli” media outlet, Channel 12.

In leaked camera footage, IOF soldiers were seen forcing Palestinian prisoners to lie down while they leave to rape a fellow prisoner.

To hide the incriminating footage, other soldiers were seen covering the disturbing scene with shields. 

The Channel 12 news reporter stated during the broadcast, “Hamas detainees are lying on the ground with their eyes closed.”

“A group of reserve soldiers from Unit 100 are guarding the site, taking the Palestinian prisoner to a corner where they are visible to surveillance cameras,” the broadcast added. “However, they try to conceal their actions by covering their faces. The footage documents the reserve soldiers committing homosexual acts under conditions of rape.”

Channel 12 reported that after several hours, the detainee was transferred to the hospital, with his injuries described as “complex”. 

The final medical report stated, "The injuries are the result of inserting an object into the rectum."

Palestinians have been systematically abused, raped, sexually assaulted, and experienced inhumane treatment by IOF soldiers in “Israeli” prisons.

Even a New York Times investigation revealed the severe conditions faced by Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman.

Around 4,000 detainees are held in restrictive conditions, handcuffed, and blindfolded, with no contact with lawyers or family. 

Former detainees reported severe abuse, including beatings, sexual assault, and electric shocks.

The site, often compared to "Israel's Guantánamo Bay," continues to draw criticism from media and human rights groups, prompting calls for its closure. The IOF denied systematic abuse.

Despite military assurances of humane treatment, 35 detainees have died.
