Evidence of gruesome form of torture is \u2018overwhelming\u2019.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

20 Apr 2026\u00a0<\/em>– Guards at Israel\u2019s notorious Sde Teiman torture camp have admitted their colleagues use dogs to rape Palestinian captives there, according to a prominent Israeli analyst.<\/p>\n

Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, a geopolitical expert who opposes Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza, said he spoke to two guards from the facility about the gruesome form of torture \u201con more than one occasion\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome have said that claims that Israel uses dogs to sexually abuse prisoners are antisemitic blood libels,\u201d Ben-Ephraim wrote on X on Friday. \u201cUnfortunately, there is a good deal of evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the two guards he spoke to, \u201cone had seen this happen and said it was too awful to talk about. The other said that he had heard about it from others and believed it was true. This happened. This is happening still. The evidence is too overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n

He highlighted several cases reported by human rights groups and media outlets.\u200b<\/p>\n

They include a man who spoke to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR). \u201cWe were stripped completely. Soldiers brought dogs that climbed on us and urinated on me,\u201d he said. \u201cThen one of the dogs raped me\u2026 I suffered a severe psychological breakdown and deep humiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey know once they rape someone with a dog or with a stick that these people won\u2019t be able to carry out their jobs or live their lives normally,\u201d Basel Alsourani, international advocacy officer at PCHR, told Novara Media<\/a> last year. \u201cIt\u2019s part of their genocidal intention to destroy [Palestinians].\u201d<\/p>\n

Sde Teiman gained global notoriety after footage was leaked of soldiers gang-raping<\/a> a captive there in 2024.<\/p>\n
