Israeli forces sexually assaulted Palestinian women and executed unarmed civilians during the Friday raid on Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, witnesses have said in a new report.

The violence against women included stripping off their clothes, touching them under the threat of violence, beating them and hurling sexual insults at them.

Their testimonies were collected by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor and published on Saturday.

According to the report, dozens of women and girls detained during the raid received degrading abuse that amounts to sexual violence.

In one incident, a soldier tore the clothes of a woman, exposing her chest, after she refused to remove her hijab, or headscarf.

Recalling a different incident, an unnamed woman said: “A soldier forced a nurse to take off her trousers, then placed his hand on her. When she tried to resist, he struck her hard across the face, causing her nose to bleed.”

A hospital staff member told the monitor: “The soldiers ordered us to remove our hijabs, but we refused. They then turned to the girls under 20 years old and demanded they remove their hijabs, but they also refused.

"The soldiers decided to punish us by taking two women at a time and forcing them to lift their clothes and lower their trousers under threats and coercion.”

According to the Euro-Med monitor, eyewitnesses described other crimes by Israeli forces, such as executing patients and unarmed detainees, as well as detonating booby-trapped robots near homes.

A 41-year-old volunteer paramedic, referred to by the initials AA, said he survived the booby-trapping of his residence.

He also said he saw Israeli forces shooting and killing a man carrying a white flag.
