Israel’s military has confirmed that a viral photo showing a semi-naked and blindfolded Palestinian man bound and crucified on an iron rod is authentic.

The photo triggered an international uproar on social media. Rights and human rights groups argue that the image corroborates years of testimony on anti-Christ torture methods inside Israeli detention facilities in Occupied Palestine.

Hell on Earth

The disturbing photo was shared on a now-deleted social media account in late June, accompanied by the Hebrew-language caption ‘good morning.’

It was brought to wider worldwide attention by a Palestinian activist under the nickname Tamer.

Revelation

He reveals that the man had been kidnapped by soldiers from the ‘Netzah Yehuda’ battalion in Gaza, Jewish-occupied Palestine.

While the photo surfaced in late June, the incident got the media spotlight only this week.

The Horrors unleashed by Satan

The picture shows the man lying face down on a military cot, blindfolded and stripped to his underwear, his hands bound behind his back and an iron rod strapped to his body from foot to neck. The reason why the Palestinian had been detained is unclear.

They boast about hell

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the photo’s authenticity, telling The Times of Israel that it had located the incident after a claimed thorough investigation.

Camps specifically for torture

CamOneg Ben Dror of Physicians for Human Rights Israel said, as cited by The Guardian, that the photo ’confirms what thousands of testimonies from Palestinian detainees have exposed,’ calling Israeli detention facilities torture camps.

Sari Bashi of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel said that holding and photographing the man semi-naked broke international law

Depraved Sexualized Torture

He added that there is no security justification for holding a detainee in his underwear, while sharing sexualized images online is a form of sexual violence and also a war crime.

After the photo went viral, at least two mothers came forward claiming the bound man as their son.

Victim Identified

One of the women, Rana Abu Nasser, identified the man as her son Osama, saying that he had been seized with his one-year-old son in March near the Israeli-imposed demarcation line in Gaza.

Herod Unchained

Israel has faced accusations of genocide and human rights abuses against Palestinians for years. Last month, a UN commission accused Israeli forces of targeting and killing Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

It says that more than 20,000 children had been killed and 44,000 injured since October 2023. Send us your comments
