IDF Torture: A Deeper Look at the Allegations and the Response
Senior Associate Copy Editor
The allegations of IDF torture are a grim reality that has been circulating for years. While the IDF maintains a stance of upholding human rights and adhering to international law, the recent influx of videos and testimonies from whistleblowers and former detainees paint a disturbing picture. These accusations go beyond isolated incidents, suggesting a systemic problem within the Israeli militaryâs handling of Palestinian detainees. One such video, titled âLEAKED VID Shows IDF TORTURING Detaineesâ by Breaking Points, claims to show IDF soldiers engaging in brutal acts against detainees, while another, âRotten to the core: Inside the Israeli and IDF system of incarcerating Palestiniansâ by ABC News, features interviews with former detainees who allege systematic abuse within Israeli prisons. These are not just isolated incidents; they point towards a deeply troubling pattern of violence and disregard for human rights.
IDF Torture Allegations: Videos and testimonies of former detainees point to a pattern of violence and abuse, including physical assault, psychological manipulation, and inhumane treatment, often without due process or legal representation.
Whistleblowers and Testimonies: Individuals who have served within the IDF or have been detained by the Israeli authorities have come forward with accounts of widespread abuse, challenging the official narrative and raising serious questions about the IDFâs commitment to ethical conduct.
International Law and Human Rights: The allegations of torture, if proven, would constitute a grave violation of international law and fundamental human rights. The international community is obligated to investigate these allegations and ensure accountability for any wrongdoing.
Public Outrage and Protests: The emergence of these allegations has sparked widespread public outrage and protests, both in Israel and internationally, raising pressure on the Israeli government and the IDF to address the issue and ensure justice for victims.
Hamasâs Role in the Conflict: The video âHamas Tortures Gazansâ, despite highlighting the brutality of Hamas, further complicates the narrative by showcasing the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire. It is crucial to note that while the video exposes the barbarity of Hamas, it does not absolve the IDF of its responsibility to uphold international standards of human rights.
The recent rise in videos and testimonies alleging IDF torture signals a major shift in the public discourse surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Itâs likely we will see increased scrutiny of the IDFâs actions and a growing demand for accountability. The international community will likely face significant pressure to intervene and investigate these allegations, potentially leading to diplomatic tensions and calls for sanctions against Israel.
This is a deeply complex issue with far-reaching implications. Itâs crucial for everyone involved to approach it with a critical and informed lens, acknowledging the suffering of all parties while advocating for justice and human rights.

Beaten, buried alive and strip-searched by Israeli forces.
Hadeel Yousef Issa al-Dahdouh, from Gaza, describes her treatment during 54 days of Israeli detention, interrogation and torture. Hadeel says Israeli forces took her away from her two young sons â a four-year-old and a breastfeeding nine-month-old.
She says she was put on the back of a military truck with only male detainees. She was then taken to several detention camps inside and outside Gaza and interrogated about the 7 October attack on southern Israel and beaten by Israeli soldiers.
The soldiers told her she would be taken for half an hour, but Hadeel says she was detained for 54 days and away from her children for 80 days.
