Israel Accused of Using US-Made Electroshock Weapons on Palestinian Detainees

An investigation has revealed that Israeli forces are allegedly using electroshock weapons, supplied by the American company Axon, on Palestinian detainees. This comes despite evidence suggesting these devices have been used in the torture and ill-treatment of prisoners. Human rights organizations have condemned these allegations and called for restrictions on the export of such weapons.

The Israel Defense Forces have stated that the abuse of detainees is strictly prohibited. The report also coincides with other incidents, including the detention of US volunteers assisting Palestinians with olive harvests and further details emerging about violent assaults by Israeli settlers.
