TLDRA report by the Committee to Protect Journalists alleges that almost 60 Palestinian journalists detained in Israeli prisons since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, have been subjected to torture, including beatings, starvation, and sexual violence. The report is based on interviews with 59 Palestinian journalists, who described consistent methods of abuse by Israeli soldiers and prison guards. The Israeli prison service and the Israel Defense Forces have rejected the allegations.
