A team from the Palestinian legal aid group Adalah reported alarming allegations of violence and sexual abuse against detainees at Ashdod Port following a flotilla incident. During a visit on Wednesday night, the legal team collected testimonies indicating that detainees suffered serious injuries, with at least three requiring hospitalization. Reports revealed that authorities employed tasers and rubber bullets during the takeover of the flotilla vessels, leading to widespread injuries among participants. Many detainees were found to have suspected rib fractures and breathing difficulties. Furthermore, the legal team highlighted the inhumane treatment of detainees, who were forced into stress positions during their transfer, including being made to walk while bent forward and sit on their knees for extended periods. The situation escalated when Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shared videos mocking the detained activists, prompting condemnation from various Israeli leaders and international figures from countries such as Italy, Spain, and Canada. The allegations have sparked outrage and calls for accountability regarding the treatment of the detainees.
