'Beaten and humiliated': An activist recounts his abuse in IDF detention

He was tortured and humiliated, he said, giving one of various accounts of recent Israeli abuse of Palestinians in detention; at least six have died, and one autopsy report showed serious injuries, Haaretz newspaper reported.

Hundreds of Gaza residents detained in Israel's military campaign have faced torture methods including electric shocks, cigarette and lighter burns, stress positions and deprivation of sleep, food and toilet facilities, investigations by Reuters and +972 magazine found.

The Israel Defense Forces have said all allegations of improper conduct in detention facilities are thoroughly investigated, and that suspects strip-searched for security reasons during arrest should be allowed to dress again before being taken into custody.

When Lubbad was released without charge, it was in Rafah, at the southern end of the Gaza Strip, while his family are still at their home in northern Beit Lahia.

The Israeli military separate them, Palestinians are not allowed to move north through the strip and his family don't want to risk the dangerous journey south through an active war zone, he told the Guardian. They were separated on 7 December, when an Israeli military announcement made over a loudspeaker ordered everyone in the area to evacuate their homes. Women and elderly people were sent to the Kamal Adwan hospital. Men were ordered to undress to their underwear in the street.

Photos of dozens of the nearly naked men kneeling in the cold and mud of a ruined street on a December morning prompted outrage around the world. The US said the photos were "deeply disturbing", and the International Committee of the Red Cross said detainees must be treated with humanity and dignity.
