NEWS: Israeli civilians were brought into military detention sites where they watched Palestinian detainees being stripped and searched, according to testimonies from Palestinian women recently released by the Israeli military. Both female and male Israeli soldiers were implicated in acts of abuse against Palestinian women from Gaza and the West Bank. These accounts were shared 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, gave detailed testimonies on sexual, reproductive, and gender-based violence carried out by Israeli security forces and settlers. The hearing marked the third round of public sessions focused on documenting violations targeting Palestinian women.
