Israeli military forces have abducted and abused individuals involved in a Gaza flotilla, including allegations of rape by female guards.

Illegal Siege, Brutal Abuse: Our Detention and Assault at the Hands of Israeli Prison Guards Two #Gaza #flotilla members [also journalists] describe their abduction and abuse by Israel last fall.* https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-flotilla-israel-abducted-abused May 2, 2026 ... Noa was abused in Israeli detention. On board the Conscience, she met German #journalist Anna Liedtke. Liedtke, too, was abducted by Israeli forces and raped by female guards during her time in Israeli custody... The brutal treatment came despite—or, perhaps, because of—the fact that Liedtke is from #Germany, a country unapologetically supportive of *Israel no matter what it does to Palestinians or even to Germans, and Schnall is American and #Jewish, a fluent Hebrew speaker of Yemeni descent who had renounced her #Israeli citizenship. The detention of those aboard the Conscience straddled negotiations over the so-called ceasefire, likely also contributing to the increasingly violent mood of the Israeli guards. #news #politics #Palestine
