“Rape was mainly done by Israeli female officers inserting objects into the genitals of detainees. We have also documented a case of gang rape by two different soldiers, twice, on a woman in a detention center. She said she was filmed during the assault.”

Kifeya Khraim from the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling (WCLAC), a Palestinian NGO, testified at the UN Commission of Inquiry hearing about Palestinian women facing systematic sexual violence and intimidation by Israeli forces, including threats to remain silent after abuse.

She described cases of sexual violence at checkpoints and during Israeli home invasions, where women were forced to strip and perform humiliating acts in front of soldiers.

Khraim also highlighted how the lack of knowledge and legal definitions makes it difficult for women to identify sexual violence. “We have women telling us that inspection devices were inserted inside them without being able to identify that as rape or sexual violence.”

“Having probes inserted up his rectum by female IDF who claimed the probe was soaked in pork blood.”

Dr. Perlmutter (@mperlmuttermd), an American volunteer doctor in Gaza, says Israeli forces brutally tortured his Palestinian colleague, an orthopedic surgeon. They crushed his fingers, threatened him with the gang rape of his wife, and female Israeli security officers raped him — because he refused to lie and say he was a member of Hamas.

Israeli civilians were invited to Israeli torture camps to watch nude Palestinians get searched and raped, according to the testimonies of Palestinian women released by the IOF. Both female and male Israeli soldiers raped Palestinian women from Gaza and the West Bank. The testimonies were presented during the UN Commission of Inquiry’s public hearing on March 11, 2025. Kifaya Khraim, International Advocacy Officer at the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling, and Witness #3, a Palestinian woman human rights defender, provided detailed accounts of sexual, reproductive, and other forms of gender-based violence committed by Israeli security forces and settlers. This was part of the Commission's third round of hearings to document violations against Palestinians, with a focus on crimes targeting women’s bodies.

“We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, and decrease of goods, life and fruits. Give glad tidings to the patient. who, in adversity say: 'We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. On those will be prayers and mercy from their Lord, those are guided.“ ( Text from Al-Quran, the holy book of Islam)

To the honorable people of Gaza,

After the events that have taken place, the temporary ceasefire, and before the implementation of Trump’s forced plan which will impose your forced displacement whether you like it or not, we have decided to make a final appeal to those who wish to receive aid in exchange for cooperating with us. We will not hesitate for a moment to help.

Reconsider your choices, for the world map will not change if all the people of Gaza vanish. No one will feel for you, and no one will ask about you. You are left alone to face your inevitable fate. Even Iran cannot protect itself, wovhow it can protect you. you have seen with your own eyes what happened. Neither US nor Europe cares about Gaza. Not even your Arab countries, which are now our allies, supplying us with money, oil, and weapons, while sending you only coffins.

The game is almost over, and only a little remains.

Whoever wants to save themselves before it’s too late, we are here to stay until Judgment Day.

“We met a gentleman who told us that he’d been kicked in the abdomen recently, in the last 48 hours. We were talking to him, and we were doing an ultrasound. And while he was there, he was telling us that the Israeli prison officers had wrapped his penis in a metal wire, [which] prevented him from being able to pee for five days. And then after that, he became incontinent. He also mentioned some sexual torture, but he wasn’t comfortable to go into the details at that time,” she said.

Another patient, she added, had a gastrointestinal disorder that he had received treatment for before he was taken to prison. When he was in Israeli detention, he asked for medication but it was not provided to him, Lalonde said.

“He told us that when he was sick, the doctor would take him into a room, and the doctor had two things. The doctor had gas – he didn’t tell us how the gas was used by the doctor – and also had a stick, and the doctor would beat him and tell him that he can’t say he was sick. And then on his last day at the prison, which was the day that we met him, he was taken into a room, and some kind of Israeli intelligence officers spoke with him, and they said that actually they had a bomb prepared for him, and they loved him so much that the bomb was not only for him, but for his entire family, and that that was their plan for him when he returned to Gaza – to bomb his family and kill them all.”
