#Hostages: “In early July 2024, there were 9,623 Palestinians incarcerated in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, 4,781 of whom were detained without trial, without being presented with the allegations against them, and without access to the right to defend themselves.“ (B'Tselem-Report „Welcome to hell“, PDF p. 6, https://www.btselem.org/publications/202408_welcome_to_hell, )
Plus: “The large number of Palestinian detainees is primarily the result of separate criminal justice systems Israeli authorities maintain in the occupied territory. The nearly 3 million Palestinians who live in the occupied West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem, are ruled by military law and prosecuted in military courts. […] Palestinians can be jailed for participating in a gathering of merely 10 people without a permit on any issue “that could be construed as political“ […] in military trials, which have a nearly 100 percent conviction rate against Palestinians.“ (#HRW, https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/11/29/why-does-israel-have-so-many-palestinians-detention-and-available-swap)
[followup] #Palestine / IDF soldiers know that Palestinian suffering is a sought-after commodity in Israeli society
B’Tselem documented 25 testimonies detailing this abuse, which included beatings, threats of rape, and psychological torture. Many of these attacks occurred publicly and were even filmed and shared by the perpetrators.
Shiri Davidovitch, a researcher at B'Tselem, argues that this violence is not only a product of the daily realities of occupation but is also fueled by a societal climate in #Israel shaped by the October 2024 war. The lack of critical media coverage of the conflict in #Gaza and the emphasis on a simplistic notion of “victory” has created a societal thirst for vengeance, dehumanizing Palestinians and normalizing violence against them. This dehumanization is evident in the casual brutality documented in #Hebron and the widespread sharing of violent imagery online.
Davidovitch concludes that as long as Israeli society continues to dehumanize Palestinians and prioritize a narrative of revenge, such abuses will continue.

"New Btselem-report about routine, severe abuse of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers in the center of a major West Bank city (Hebron) throughout the summer of 2024. Btselem called the report “Unleashed”, because the wave of violence unleashed on Palestinians this past year has changed norms of conduct in the military."

„The world must stop the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza“
Human rights NGOs today called on the international community to take action NOW to prevent #Israel from forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have remained in the northern #Gaza Strip outside of the area, including by denying entry of essential humanitarian aid and fuel. The Israeli ceasefire coalition, the groups #Gisha, #BTselem, #PHRI and #YeshDin, said that there are alarming signs that the Israeli military is beginning to quietly implement the Generals’ Plan
