"Italy probes Israel’s Katz over abuse, sexual assault of flotilla activists"
"Italian prosecutors have placed Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz and 12 senior military, police and prison officials under investigation over the treatment of activists detained on Gaza-bound solidarity boats, widening a probe that had centred on far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The Rome prosecutors’ office said on Friday that the case concerns suspected torture, kidnapping, personal injury, robbery and damage when Israeli forces intercepted small fleets of activist boats heading towards Gaza in 2025 and 2026.
Prosecutors said activists detained after the first mission in 2025 reported beatings, injuries, death threats, insults and accusations of terrorism. Those on the second mission in 2026 reported harsher treatment, including beatings in the dark and the use of tasers and rubber bullets, the statement said.
The activists reported at least 15 cases of sexual assault, including rape."

Italian prosecutors in Rome have added Israeli War Minister Israel Katz and occupation army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to a criminal investigation over the torture and kidnapping of Italian activists seized from Gaza-bound flotillas, an inquiry that began with Ben Gvir.
"The entire Israeli chain of command, including two government ministers, is under investigation," the prosecutors said, after 50 Italian citizens reported beatings, death threats, and denial of lawyers.
