The issue of sexual abuse against Palestinians held in Israeli prisons has resurfaced after the release of new video footage by the Tel Aviv-based Channel Twelve. The footage, which has sparked widespread outrage, reportedly shows Israeli soldiers engaging in the sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners.

According to Channel Twelve, the prisoners depicted in the footage are members of Hamas. The video allegedly shows the prisoners being tortured while handcuffed behind their backs. In response to the footage, Tel Aviv authorities announced that five individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident.

The footage has drawn renewed attention to allegations of systematic torture of Palestinians in Israeli prisons. A recent report by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem claims that such abuse has been ongoing since the beginning of the Gaza invasion. However, the administration under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied these allegations, maintaining that Israeli soldiers operate within the bounds of the law.

The release of this video has intensified the ongoing debate over the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israel, with calls for further investigation and accountability.
