Geneva, April 18 (RHC)-- The United Nations refugee agency UNRWA has accused Israeli security forces of torturing imprisoned UN workers in an effort to extract false confessions about the agency’s ties to Hamas. 

The accusations are part of a new UNRWA report that documents how Palestinians detained in Israel have been attacked by dogs, deprived of food, forced into cages, beaten with metal bars and tortured with nail guns and electric batons. 

One Palestinian child released from Israeli prison had dog bite wounds on his body.

In related news, ProPublica has revealed a special State Department panel has urged the Biden administration to disqualify multiple Israeli military and police units from receiving U.S. aid over serious human rights abuses including rape and torture. 

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken reportedly received the recommendation in December but has not taken any action.
