The Israel Prisons Service vows to probe claims by an IDF soldier that she was raped by a Palestinian security prisoner while serving as a guard in Gilboa Prison.
“These are serious allegations in regard to something that took place several years ago,” the prisons service says in a statement. “The information is under a gag order and we will await the police investigation and act on its findings with zero tolerance.”
Earlier today, an IDF soldier alleged in a crowdfunding campaign that she was repeatedly raped by a Palestinian security prisoner while serving as a guard in the prison, in an allegation that is reportedly already being probed by the police.
