Israeli soldiers beat two Gaza detainees to death: Report
Israel’s Haaretz newspaper is reporting that an internal military probe found Israeli soldiers beat two Palestinian detainees from Gaza to death.
The detainees were beaten on their way to the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Naqab desert (commonly known in English as the Negev) and died later, Haaretz reported, citing two unnamed sources.
“While several soldiers were questioned about the incident, no one has been arrested on suspicion of causing their deaths,” the news outlet reported.
Haaretz has previously reported that at least 27 detainees from Gaza have died in Israeli military custody at Sde Teiman and other bases.
Released detainees and whistleblowers have long accused the Israeli military of subjecting detained Palestinians to severe abuse, including sexual violence, as well as torture through severe beatings, dog attacks, strip searches, waterboarding, and denial of food, sleep and toilet access.
There is no accountability. Another 'investigation' that led nowhere. It won't be any different for the tent massacre, nor the follow up massacre on Tuesday.
Women, girls suffer most in Israel’s war on Gaza: UN women’s agency chief
Sima Bahous, the executive director of UN Women, said more than 10,000 Palestinian women have been killed in the seven months of Israel’s war on Gaza – including scores of women and children “horrifically killed” by an Israeli air strike while sleeping in tents in what was supposed to be a safe zone in Rafah.
“This war must stop because women and girls are bearing the brunt of it,” Bahous told a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday.
Palestinian women and children flee Rafah with their belongings following renewed Israeli strikes in the city in the southern Gaza Strip on May 28
Mexico seeks to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) says Mexico has filed an application with the world tribunal to intervene in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel.
In its declaration, Mexico stated that it “seeks to intervene, in order to provide its view on the potential construction of the content of the provisions of the Convention relevant to this case”, the court said.
