UN urges Zionist entity to investigate stripping of Palestinian women
NEW YORK, Sept. 07 (YPA) – The United Nations called on the Israeli occupation authorities to conduct an investigation into the forced nudity of five Palestinian women in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, during a raid on a residential building.
UN Deputy Spokesman, Farhan Haq, said in a press conference: “We will stand against any form of collective punishment.”
Haq added, “The incident of Israeli female soldiers forcing five Palestinian women to undergo body searches while they were naked under the threat of dogs must be carefully investigated.”
On Tuesday, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights published in the occupied territories “Battelm” (special) a report that narrates the details of the incident that occurred on July 10, 2023.
Immediately after it was published on Monday in the Hebrew newspaper “Haaretz,” the incident sparked angry reactions, as it was condemned by official Palestinian authorities, unions, and factions.
