The purpose of this thread is to document crimes and atrocities conducted by Israel in Palestine.
Ground Rules:
There have been multiple instances of fake news being mixed up with real news which undermines real crimes.
Western controlled media and social media will definitely wipe evidence. For this reason, it's necessary to preserve everything on a safe host. For news articles or twitter threads, use the web archive.
Please feel free to mention any other safe / immutable places to store information and I'll add them here.
This is a serious effort thread so please treat it as such.
Whenever posting something, include the source, context,what happened and evidence.
Top Level comments should preferably only be what the post is for. I ask you to give your opinions either in the news mega or in the sub comments.

Not just the UNRWA report: Countless accounts of Israeli torture in Gaza (cw graphic description touture death)
Practices recorded by UNRWA include the use of a nail gun on prisoners’ knees, sexual abuse against both men and women and the insertion of what appears to be an electrified metal stick into prisoners’ rectums.
set up facilities dedicated to torturing Palestinians: Rights group
Article text
Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians, including 21 from the Gaza Strip, who had been held in Israeli prisons, detailing the torture they were subjected to.
The B’Tselem report, titled Welcome to Hell, revealed on Tuesday that more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities have been converted into a network of camps “dedicated to the abuse of inmates” since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza.
Such spaces, in which every inmate is intentionally condemned to severe, relentless pain and suffering, operate in fact as torture camps,” it said.
The violations include “frequent acts of severe, arbitrary violence; sexual assault; humiliation and degradation; deliberate starvation; forced unhygienic conditions; sleep deprivation; prohibition on, and punitive measures for, religious worship; confiscation of all communal and personal belongings; and denial of adequate medical treatment”.
B’Tselem said at least 60 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 7, including about 48 people from Gaza.
The report said that detainee testimonies demonstrate “a systemic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners”.
This policy, it said, is implemented under the direction of Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, with the full support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
ternational law are being violated, and the fact that these violations are directed at the entire population of Palestinian prisoners daily and over time – the only possible conclusion is that in carrying out these acts, Israel is committing torture that amounts to a war crime and even a crime against humanity,” the report said in its conclusion.
Call for ICC probe
It called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate “individuals suspected of planning, directing and committing these crimes”, saying the probe was not possible inside Israel “since all state systems, including the judiciary, have been mobilized in support of these torture camps”.
B’Tselem also noted that the number of Palestinians held in Israeli jails has doubled to 9,623 since the war on Gaza began.
“We appeal to all nations and to all international institutions and bodies to do everything in their power to put an immediate end to the cruelties meted out on Palestinians by Israel’s prison system, and to recognize the Israeli regime operating this system as an apartheid regime that must come to an end,” the group concluded.
There was no immediate reaction to the report from the Israeli authorities.

Might wanna put a general CW warning in the title?
Done
Video of the missle strike on Al Ahli Hospital (cw war crime)
Fascist IDF is trying to pre-emptively blame Hamas. IMO Hamas doesn't have this type of weapon, and it sounds just like other 
missles that have been documented, and far too direct to be a mistake or intercepted off course missle. It was deliberate.
They are targeting journalist’s houses, which means not only the journalists, but their families too.
They struck an Al Jazeera journalist’s house, killing his wife, son, daughter, and grandson. This was a couple days after Antony Blinken asked Al Jazeera to “turn down the volume” on their broadcasting of the war.
Journalist Dua' Sharf was killed in a strike on her house in Gaza.

Can you give me the TLDR of this?
Is it basically "hey Israelis don't r*pe Palestinian women as much compared to other historical wars" ?
Because if so it could just be Israeli soldiers denying it and Palestinian woman denying it (out of shame)
The "just because they don't say it doesn't mean it doesn't happen" angle is repeatedly mentioned and treated as an inherentpy valid point.

At least one journalist has been killed and six others wounded in a shelling attack by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, according to witnesses and reporters at the scene
The Reuters news agency confirmed on Friday that Issam Abdallah, a videographer, was killed in the attack.
A journalist working for Reuters was killed during fighting in Lebanon, the outlet confirmed Thursday.“We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed,” a spokesperson for Reuters said in a statement. Issam was part of a Reuters crew in southern Lebanon that was providing a live signal and images from the ground.
Al Jazeera said some of its reporters were also part of the group of journalists that was hit by what is called a “shelling attack by Israeli forces.” Reuters said as of Thursday afternoon, it is “urgently seeking more information, working with authorities in the region, and supporting Issam’s family and colleagues.” Reuters journalists Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh also sustained injuries as part of the incident that killed Issam and are seeking medical care, the outlet said.
“Our thoughts are with their families at this terrible time,” the company said.
Al Jazeera said videographer Elie Brakhya and reporter Carmen Joukhadar were also among the wounded.
Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah died in an artillery strike near the Israel-Lebanon border.
The news agency told Insider that two other journalists were injured in the attack on Friday.
The crew were struck while filming a livestream video for Reuters, which has since been removed

Context: Israel has routinely bombed hospitals, which is a war crime under international law.
What Happened: Israel bombed the Indonesian hospital of Gaza, and killed one of the workers there.
Evidence:
MSF teams are witnessing a level of destruction that may already exceed previous escalations. Two of the hospitals MSF supports, Al Awda and Indonesian hospitals, have both sustained damage in airstrikes, while MSF’s own clinic sustained damage in an explosion on Monday.
Indonesia's Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C) condemned the Israeli air strikes on besieged Gaza Strip in Palestine that killed one of its workers, and hit the Indonesian hospital on Saturday.
Abu Romzi, who had worked as MER-C's local staff member in Gaza since 2011, was killed in the air strikes, the statement said.
