the fascist jew and his cultivated crocodiles....
Israel's environment minister has reclassified crocodiles so that they can now be used for security purposes. Far-right Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir reportedly wants them to surround a jail holding Hamas militants. Israel's Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman has given a new classification to crocodiles, in a move that may allow the reptiles to be deployed for security tasks, such as maintaining security at prisons.
Israel clears way for crocodiles to stop prison breaks Timothy Jones
The country's far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, reportedly in December proposed using crocodiles around a prison for Palestinian detainees, similar to a US migrant detention center in Florida dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz." Nile crocodiles reclassified as security assetsThe new classification puts the crocodiles in the category of "cultivated wild animal" instead of wild animals. It could allow an approved security organization to keep Nile crocodiles for security purposes, subject to government approval and conditions set by environmental authorities. One such body is the Israel Prison Service, which answers to Ben-Gvir. Israeli media reported that Ben-Gvir intends to use crocodiles to guard Ketziot prison in southern Israel, which primarily holds Palestinian security prisoners. In a Facebook post on Thursday, Ben-Gvir wrote: "Are you thinking of attempting to escape? Think again." He accompanied the post with an AI-generated image of himself with a crocodile on a leash. Criticism of crocodile use Israel's Channel 13 reported that the Israel Nature and Parks Authority spoke out against Ben-Gvir's proposal when he first put forward the idea last year. The authority said wild animals should be kept only for research and educational reasons. It also cited previous problems with bred crocodiles escaping into the wilderness and posing risks to human lives. Channel 13 also said the idea "met with ridicule by several officers" at the Israel Prison Service. https://www.dw.com/en/israel-clears-way-for-crocodiles-to-stop-prison-breaks/a-78022950

No charges filed after scores of Palestinian detainees died in IDF custody – Haaretz
The Israeli military has reportedly launched 57 probes into deaths that happened at CCTV-equipped military facilities, but indicted no one
The Israel Defense Forces opened 57 criminal investigations into the deaths of multiple Palestinian and Lebanese detainees in Israeli military custody but never indicted anybody, according to Haaretz. Seven of the cases reportedly relate to captives who suffered fatal gunshot wounds.
In an article on Friday, the Israeli newspaper cited filings obtained by the human rights group Hatzlacha through Freedom of Information requests. Most of the deaths in question reportedly occurred inside IDF military detention facilities that are equipped with CCTV cameras, the publication notes.
Yet, the Israeli military failed to identify suspects in most of the cases, according to Haaretz.
Another 19 probes have reportedly been launched into alleged beatings, violence, and the “unlawful use of force” toward detainees. However, only two indictments were filed as a result, one of which was later dropped after the alleged victim was returned to Gaza before testifying in court, Haaretz claimed.
Most IDF investigations into suspected looting by Israeli soldiers in Gaza and Lebanon have likewise resulted in no charges brought, according to the publication.
In response to a request for comment, the IDF confirmed that “several investigations were opened into suspected violations,” insisting that the Israeli military “operates in accordance with international law,” as quoted by Haaretz.
Israel has for years faced accusations of abuse against Palestinian detainees inside IDF holding facilities.
The report also came out after a photo showing a semi-naked and blindfolded Palestinian man bound to an iron rod surfaced on social media earlier this month. The Israeli military confirmed its authenticity and promised to launch a probe. However, human rights groups argued that it was emblematic of widespread abuse of Palestinian detainees at what Physicians for Human Rights Israel described as IDF “torture camps.”
In March, the Israeli military dropped charges against troops accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian prisoner at a detention facility at the Sde Teiman base in July 2024. The IDF cited insufficient evidence to secure a conviction and procedural concerns after disturbing footage of the incident was leaked to the media.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the decision, saying that “Israel must pursue its enemies, not its heroic fighters.”
Meanwhile, last month, Italy and France launched investigations into the alleged mistreatment of activists who were detained by Israeli troops while trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla in May.
After being expelled from Israel, numerous activists hailing from several countries alleged that they had been subjected to beatings, torture, sexual assault, and in some cases outright rape at the hands of Israeli troops.
