JAKARTA - Israeli media on Wednesday distributed a video documenting the sexual assault of an Israeli soldier against a Gaza prisoner in the Sde Teiman detention center.

Israeli Channel 12 released footage from an internal camera inside the Sde Teiman detention center, which is under the responsibility of the occupation army, regarding the assault on a prisoner whose identity has not been revealed.

The video documentation, the date and how it reached the channel were not mentioned, shows a number of occupation soldiers selecting a prisoner from among more than 30 prisoners who were lying face down on the ground in the detention center's yard with their eyes covered, WAFA reported on August 7.

The soldiers were then documented carrying him to a corner of the yard while using a shield to hide what they were doing.

Israeli Channel 12 said, "It is clear that they were aware of the security cameras and tried to hide their actions with the shield."

"A few hours later, the prisoner was transferred to the hospital, bleeding, and his condition was described as critical," the channel continued, adding, "The injury was caused by the insertion of an object."

It is known that right-wing Israeli groups are demanding the release of the soldiers who carried out the attack, describing them as heroes.

Recently, human rights reports have pointed to worsening conditions in occupation prisons since October 7, especially inside the Sde Teiman detention center, which has witnessed torture and sexual violence against detainees from Gaza.

Separately, Gaza medical sources reported on Wednesday that at least 24 civilians were killed and 110 others injured by Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours.

That brings the death toll in Gaza from Israeli attacks since the latest conflict broke out on October 7, 2023 to 39,677, while the number of injured has reached 91,645.
