Gilboa Prison commander, Freddy Ben Shitrit, appears to confirm reports from 2018 that female Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers who were doing their military service in the Prison as guards were “pimped” and forced to have sex with Palestinian terrorists.
Ben Shitrit says the prison “pimped soldiers” and “they handed over female soldiers… to terrorists for sexual purposes.”
The incident allegedly happened before Ben Shitrit served as commander in the prison.
The allegations were first reported in 2018 by Channel 20 and firmly denied by the Prison services.
Ben Shitrit was testifying to a government panel regarding the failures that led to a prison break by Palestinian security prisoners earlier this year.
