NYT’s

“Stripped, Beaten or Vanished: Israel’s Treatment of Gaza Detainees Raises Alarm”
A U.N. office said Israel’s detention and treatment of detainees might amount to torture. It estimated thousands had been detained and held in “horrific” conditions. Some were freed wearing only diapers.

Photos and videos taken by Israeli soldiers and Israeli journalists embedded with the military have shown Palestinians with hands bound behind their backs, sometimes blindfolded and in underwear, kneeling outdoors in winter.

In a more recent NYT report, 3 prisoners spoke of hot metal rods on and in body parts. You would have to be mentally ill to surrender.
