In testimonies to Euro-Med Monitor, female detainees report being subjected to sexual violence, torture by Israeli forces
Geneva - In new testimonies documented by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, female Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip report being subjected to sexual violence, torture, inhuman treatment, strip searches, sexual harassment, and rape threats while being arrested and held by Israeli army forces.

Israeli forces also continuously threatened them with losing the ability to see their children.

Horrific testimonies: Israeli army tortures Palestinians in Gaza physically and psychologically
Geneva - As Israel continues its genocide in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented the Israeli army’s sadistic abuse and torture of Palestinians there. This includes purposefully causing severe physical and psychological harm, which will undoubtedly have long-term effects, after storming their homes and shelter centres or attacking them on forced evacuation routes and so-called “safe corridors”.
In a new statement issued on Wednesday following the Israeli detention, investigation, and interrogation of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, the Euro-Med Monitor team confirmed that it had received horrifying testimonies and had personally interviewed recently-released victims of cruel torture practices that appeared to have a sadistic bent. These attacks have left deep wounds and numerous scars on the survivors’ bodies and have negatively affected their psychological health, stated the rights group. It appears from the documented testimonies that the attacks were carried out in retaliation and as collective punishment for being Palestinian.

Brief statement: Euro-Med’s initial inquiries confirm Israel’s involvement in killing and wounding dozens of starving civilians in Gaza
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor confirms that our initial investigations demonstrate that the Israeli army's gunfire caused the deaths of dozens of Palestinian civilians who were receiving humanitarian aid in western Gaza at dawn on Thursday, and that the Israeli army is attempting to disassociate itself from the horrific crime by releasing a shattered aerial video clip and arguing that the large number of civilian deaths was caused by a stampede and trampling.
The Euro-Med Monitor stated that its research teams observed the events from the first moments and recorded that Israeli tanks opened heavy fire on groups of Palestinian civilians attempting to receive humanitarian aid west and south of Gaza City. As a result, 112 civilians were killed and 760 were injured, while many victims are thought to remain in the targeted area.

ICC Prosecutor shows clear double standard when dealing with situation in Palestine
Geneva - Expressing profound concern about the inability of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to carry out its mandate, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor warned that this will cause irreversible harm the rights of the Palestinian people. The rights group also said that the entire process of establishing justice with regard to the situation in Palestine—particularly in relation to the crime of genocide that Israel has been committing in the Gaza Strip on a daily basis for five months now—is in danger of failing unless taken seriously by the ICC.
Euro-Med Monitor highlighted the dire need for the ICC to treat Israel’s crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip with the highest degree of seriousness, which should consequently prompt the majority of United Nations and international institutions and experts to pressure Israel to end its assault on the Strip. The suspicion of the occurrence of this genocide has already been confirmed by the world’s highest court, the International Court of Justice.

Israeli army is attempting to evade responsibility for yet another flour massacre in Gaza
Palestinian Territory - The Israeli army is yet again attempting to evade responsibility for massacring Palestinian civilians who were waiting for aid supplies. Israel’s most recent “flour massacre” occurred last night near the Kuwait roundabout on the outskirts of Gaza City, and left more than 80 dead and 200 injured, a number of whom are in critical condition.
Israel’s army has released a video clip featuring an armed individual, in an attempt to claim that Palestinian gunmen were responsible for the deaths of the recent massacre victims. The clip in question does not validate the Israeli army’s assertion, however. In contrast, four pieces of evidence have surfaced during Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor’s initial investigations into the crime and clip released by the Israeli army, with the evidence confirming that the dead and wounded victims of this massacre were not shot by the gunfire that appears in this clip.
