Torture in Israel

Torture, Israeli-style - as Described by the Interrogators Themselves
Slaps were the first method that N. listed. He said the force used is moderate, but the goal is to hurt sensitive organs like the nose, ears, brow and lips.
For years, the Israeli establishment has tried to conceal what happens in interrogation rooms. When interrogators use torture – or “special means,” to use the establishment’s term – the concealment efforts are redoubled. Even when testimony of torture reaches the public, the system does everything it can to leave the interrogators’ role in darkness, including signing lenient plea bargains with suspects who were tortured to ensure that the conspiracy of silence remains unbroken.
People who have undergone interrogation have described various methods, from interrogators screaming in their ear, to blows, to being forced into painful positions for long periods. To date, however, all these descriptions have come from the complainants.
But recently, a conversation among interrogators in the presence of several witnesses provided a chance to hear from the interrogators themselves about the kinds of torture used in major cases, who approved it and what information it produced.

When you deal with terrorist scum, you have to use whatever methods are available to garner information (about where they planted bombs, for example).

Even false information?

A separate question is whether torture is effective – and in most cases, the answer has been no. A good example is the case of Mohammed Khatib, one of dozens of Hamas operatives arrested in the West Bank in summer 2014, about two months after a Hamas cell kidnapped and murdered three Israeli teens. At the time, the security services thought there was a connection between the Hamas network to which Khatib belonged and the cell that kidnapped the teens, which was headed by Marwan Qawasmeh. Khatib and his fellows were therefore tortured to obtain information.
Under this torture, Khatib confessed to serving as a lookout for the cell headed by Qawasmeh, a childhood friend from his hometown of Hebron. But it later turned out that not only did he have nothing to do with the kidnapping, neither did the Hamas network to which he belonged; Qawasmeh’s cell had operated independently

Even false information?

People are tortured into confessing then they run that confession down to their kangaroo court for convictions.
