An Israeli soldier has been jailed for abusing Palestinian detainees from Gaza, following reports of serious abuses at the Sde Teiman detention facility. A UN commission of inquiry found that thousands of child and adult detainees had been subjected to widespread abuse and violence. Israel's government denies the accusations and claims to be committed to international legal standards. The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to a cross-border attack in October 2023, resulting in thousands of deaths. Currently, 1,802 Palestinians from Gaza are being held as 'unlawful combatants' in Israeli prisons.
