A new report by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, corroborated by a UN special rapporteur and a formal warning from the UN secretary-general, has concluded that sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli detention, including rape using trained dogs, constitutes an organised state policy rather than isolated misconduct.
The report, published on 12 April 2026 and titled 'Another Genocide Behind Walls,' draws on direct testimonies from Palestinian former detainees recently released by Israeli forces, documenting rape, sexualised torture with hard objects, genital mutilation and the use of animals during interrogation.
