Israel used US stun weapons on Palestinians
A joint investigation by The Guardian and Media in Cooperation and Integrity (ARIJ) has revealed that Israel is using American-made stun weapons, particularly the Taser model, to torture Palestinian detainees inside prisons. Witnesses among the detainees confirmed being subjected to torture with devices produced by the American company Axon Enterprises, despite the fact that the origins of American weapons are subject to strict oversight by the U.S. Department of Commerce, which imposes export restrictions, especially in cases involving human rights violations. The investigation uncovered long-standing relationships between the company and Israel, with continuous supplies since 2016 reaching Israeli police and security agencies, despite claims that these devices are used in lethal torture. Detainees have been subjected to powerful electric shocks resulting in permanent injuries and health problems. The report clarifies that these weapons are manufactured in Arizona and classified under the category of crime-fighting equipment, yet there are ongoing concerns regarding their use in human rights abuses, with supplies to Israel continuing despite international evidence and reports.
