⚠️Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Eyal Zamir, has allowed members of Unit 100, who had been accused of abusing a Palestinian detainee from #Gaza at Sde Teiman military facility, to resume reserve duty after charges against them were dropped A thread🧵 https://t.co/oTAbBJPiso

On 5 July 2024, five Israeli soldiers at Sde Teiman prison in the Negev Desert brutally assaulted a handcuffed, blindfolded Palestinian detainee from Gaza. This included raping him with a sharp object inserted into his anus, resulting in broken ribs, a punctured lung, and internal rectal tears.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
These acts constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, documented on video and later leaked by Israeli sources. Leaked surveillance footage shows soldiers escorting the detainee to one side of the room, surrounding him, one carrying a dog, and deliberately using riot equipment to obscure their actions.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
The detainee, later released, continues to suffer severe physical and psychological effects from the torture and sexual violence he endured, living in constant fear of renewed abuse or targeting by Israeli authorities.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
Israel’s authorities have focused on prosecuting the leak of the video rather than conducting a serious investigation into this documented crime. The former military attorney general, Major General Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi, resigned in October 2025 after admitting to authorising part of the video’s release to the media under political pressure and disinformation campaigns that sought to undermine the investigation.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
Political endorsement of the case dismissal, including statements by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and right-wing figures calling the soldiers “heroes,” demonstrates that the issue extends beyond judicial failure to a deliberate political will to reframe criminal acts as national duty. This transforms a crime requiring condemnation and accountability into one celebrated as patriotic.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
The indictment was dismissed on procedural grounds, citing alleged evidentiary complications, the detainee’s return to Gaza, and claims of “justice defense” regarding the accused’s right to a fair trial.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
These justifications do not negate the crime itself nor the available evidence, which includes surveillance footage, medical documentation, and conclusions from treating Israeli doctors, all providing sufficient independent proof of the crime.

Most recently, Eyal Zamir, Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, has allowed members of Unit 100, who had been accused of abusing a detainee from Gaza at a military facility, to resume reserve duty after charges against them were dropped.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
Allowing personnel accused of serious abuses against detainees to return to duty sends a deeply troubling message about accountability within the Israeli military system. Such decisions risk normalising violence against Palestinian detainees and undermining the credibility of investigative processes, particularly in cases involving grave violations such as abuse in custody.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
Failure to ensure transparent, thorough, and independent investigations strengthens concerns about entrenched impunity and the absence of effective safeguards to protect detainees from abuse.

🧵1/5 In light of mounting reports on #Israel’s military deploying the Hannibal directive on 7 Oct in the Gaza envelope, we urge an immediate int’l investigation to provide a full picture of what unfolded. The more time passes, the more difficult it would be to preserve evidence!
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
2\5 The latest report on 7 Oct highlights that “28 fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm. We’re talking about 100s of 30-millimetre cannon mortars & Hellfire missiles”. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-07/israel-hannibal-directive-kidnap-hamas-gaza-hostages-idf/104224430

3\5 Israel has recently began dismantling the Nahal Oz military outpost & the Pasi Cohen house in Kibbutz Ba’ari before any independent investigation has been carried out there. Israel also reportedly prevented the US from collecting evidence from IDF soldiers involved in 7 Oct
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
4\5 The use of the Hannibal directive is a serious violation of international law that warrants an independent investigation of its own alongside investigating the atrocities committed on that fateful day.
@EuroMedHR - Euro-Med Monitor
5\5 Independent investigations into the events of 7 Oct in terms of both the IDF’s & Hamas’ actions are essential to uncover the truth, hold those responsible accountable, & ensuring justice for the victims & their loved ones.

Israel killed more than 3 aid workers every week in #Gaza in 2023, while dozens continue to be targeted, killed, and injured every month during the ongoing genocide since 7 October. #WorldHumanitarianDay https://t.co/bCDukZlGbt

The Israeli army shot them with bullets and bombs, used them as human shields in a combat zone, then laid the injured mother on the ground and ran over her with a tank.. A compound crime documented by Euro-Med Monitor in #Gaza City. https://t.co/UABSgorH0c
