Leaked Israeli military docs confirm raped Palestinian prisoner had done nothing wrong
A leaked Israeli military order has confirmed that the Palestinian man raped by Israeli occupation soldiers at the Sde Teiman torture camp was a civilian, not the “Khamas fighter” that the Israeli regime and its supporters had falsely claimed – as if it would justify such a horrific crime even if it was true.
Footage of the rape was leaked by a senior Israeli military lawyer. She has been arrested for the leak, while the rapists appeared, masked, on Israeli TV to demand ‘justice’ — by which they meant for no action to be taken against them.
The leaked document confirms that the victim was never charged with any crime and was among 1,700 Gaza detainees held without charge who were then freed in the prisoner exchange of 13 October 2025.
The United Nations has repeatedly condemned Israel’s use of sexual violence against Palestinian detainees, while human rights and legal groups have exposed incidents of such torture – even to death, like Palestinian doctor Adnan Bursh and the clients of Palestinian lawyer Khaled Mahagna:

IDF SHOWS ITS TRUE COLOURS OF BEING SUB HUMANS
https://theconversation.com/arrest-of-top-whistleblower-shows-extent-of-israeli-impunity-over-torture-of-palestinian-detainees-266489
“In some respects, this lack of accountability is consistent with what has long been Israel’s approach regarding violence towards Palestinians. Despite being a country apparently bound by the rule of law, cases in which Palestinians have been mistreated, abused, tortured and killed have rarely been addressed by the Israeli legal authorities. Soldiers and Shabak interrogators enjoy a de-facto impunity for committing crimes against Palestinians, including torture.
This effective impunity exists despite Israel having robust systems to ensure prosecutions. For example, the Ministry of Justice has a dedicated unit to address complaints against Shabak interrogators pertaining to allegations of torture. Yet, out of more than 1,450 complaints filed against Shabak interrogators between 1992 and early 2023, criminal investigations have been opened in just three cases. None have led to indictments.
We argue that these mechanisms of accountability were never primarily motivated by concerns with the rule of law. Nor were they about holding members of Israel’s security forces accountable for crimes committed against Palestinians. They were always mainly a facade, motivated, to a great extent, by an attempt to protect Israel and its security personnel from prosecutions in international courts.
The jurisdiction of international courts is limited by the principle of complementarity. This means that the International Criminal Court (ICC) can only intervene when complainants cannot get justice in domestic courts. By showing that it has an independent legal system to which Palestinians can turn, and which can potentially hold perpetrators accountable, Israel can protect its security personnel from charges by the ICC.
