Israel hasn’t said who its soldiers abused. Two Gaza mothers think it’s their son
GAZA/JERUSALEM: The photo depicts a blindfolded Gaza man stripped to his underwear and restrained face down on a cot while in Israeli custody.
Israel says the image is genuine and has acknowledged that the treatment it depicts “does not align” with its military’s values. But it has yet to say who the man is or where he is being held.
That has added to the anguish of two Palestinian mothers, Rana Abu Nassar and Joudeh Al-Ghoul, each of whom is absolutely certain that the man being mistreated in the image is her own missing son.
In the screenshot of an Instagram post, the man’s hands are bound behind his back, his right foot tied to the bottom corner of the cot. A wooden rod is bound to the back of his body, running from his right foot up to his neck. His face is mostly obscured.
