The Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has unveiled the Israeli army's practice of bringing groups of Israeli civilians to detention centers and prisons used to imprison Palestinian prisoners from Gaza. The purpose is to enable them to witness and document the torture inflicted upon the detainees. Shocking testimonies from recently released Palestinian prisoners revealed that the Israeli army summoned civilians during their interrogation sessions to observe the various forms of torture and inhumane treatment. According to the released prisoners, Israeli soldiers deliberately presented them to Israeli civilians, falsely claiming they were fighters affiliated with Palestinian factions and who allegedly participated in the October 7 attack. The Euro-Mediterranean Monitor clarified that, based on the received testimonies, groups of Israeli civilians, ranging from 10 to 20 individuals, were allowed to witness and record Palestinian prisoners stripped of their clothes while soldiers used metal batons and electric rods to beat them. The prisoners were subjected to pouring hot water on their heads, accompanied by verbal abuse and threats in Arabic.
