07Torture and sexual violence against Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman, including use of attack dogs
- Attack dogs set on shackled, blindfolded detainees — documented by the UN.
- Israeli whistleblowers described amputations caused by round-the-clock zip-tie restraints.
- The UN found the torture systematic — policy, not incidents.
According to UN OHCHR reporting and testimonies from released detainees, Palestinians held at Israel's Sde Teiman military detention facility were subjected to systematic torture and severe sexual and gender-based violence, including dogs being set on shackled detainees, with some testimonies collected by UN bodies and human-rights organizations alleging dog-involved sexual assault. Israeli whistleblowers who worked at the facility corroborated accounts of abuse in a CNN investigation, and UN experts described the reported treatment as flagrant violations of international law, while Israel has denied the specific allegations.
