⚡️🚨 NEW - Israel’s “Disco Room” Torture
Defense for Children International – Palestine has documented the ordeal of three boys from Gaza— ages 16 and 17 — who were abducted by Israeli forces while trying to reach food and then tortured inside Israel’s Sde Teiman military camp.
All three were seized at aid points, bound, blindfolded, stripped naked, and taken out of Gaza. In custody, they describe nonstop beatings, electric shocks, starvation, and exposure to extreme cold. Soldiers forced them into stress positions for hours, unleashed dogs on them, and blasted deafening music in the “disco room,” where interrogators slammed their heads into walls and tightened handcuffs until bones cracked.
The boys also recount staged psychological torture: threats against their families, edited photos meant to break them, and attempts to recruit them as collaborators in exchange for money and housing. Cells were filthy, overcrowded, crawling with insects, with rotten food and no medical care. Stun grenades were thrown into rooms at night, leaving children terrified to sleep.
All three were released in the October prisoner exchange, returning to Gaza with severe injuries, trauma, suffering involuntary urination, panic attacks, and crippling nightmares. DCIP says their testimony shows a detention system that targets children with brutality and humiliation, not for “security” but to break their bodies, terrify their families, and crush the next generation’s sense of safety.
