OIC condemns forced strip search of Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers

  • Israeli soldiers threatened to unleash K-9 dogs if the women did not strip naked in front of children

LONDON: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has strongly condemned Israeli soldiers in Hebron for strip searching five Palestinian women.

An investigation released by Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem on Tuesday revealed that Israeli female soldiers forced Palestinian women to strip naked in front of their children during a night raid on their homes on July 10.

Soldiers threatened to unleash K-9 dogs on the families if the women did not comply.

The OIC urged international bodies to put pressure on Israel to end its daily breaches of human rights in Palestine and to take legal action with the appropriate international authorities.
