REPORT | The Guardian reports that at least 135 mutilated Palestinian bodies returned to Gaza were traced to Israel’s Sde Teiman base — a military prison notorious for torture and deaths in custody. Doctors in Khan Younis said autopsies “clearly indicate that Israel carried out acts of murder, summary executions and systematic torture.” Human rights workers warn the site’s dual role — both prison camp and storage facility for Gaza’s dead — may conceal how many were killed in captivity. Israeli media reports and guard testimony suggest nearly 1,500 Palestinian bodies are still being held there. Most victims were blindfolded, bound, or crushed under tank tracks, according to Gaza doctors. Whistleblowers told The Guardian of detainees kept naked, blindfolded, and shackled in nappies. Patients captured from Gaza hospitals were chained to beds, left with infected wounds, and moaning in pain. One guard said a prisoner’s hand was amputated after it turned gangrenous from tight cuffs. Released journalist Shadi Abu Seido described 100 days inside Sde Teiman: “Many died in detention, others lost their minds. They brought dogs that urinated on us. When I asked why I’d been arrested, they said: ‘We’ve killed all the journalists. They died once. You’ll die hundreds of times.’” His account echoes repeated testimonies of torture emerging from Sde Teiman. A UN forensic expert urged an independent investigation to identify the dead and determine accountability. The Israeli army referred questions to the Prison Service, which offered no comment. At least 78 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 2023. ➡️ Full Report: The Guardian (link in reply) ⬇️ Thread below: Palestinian Ministry of Health photos of the recently released captives.
