Israeli Supreme Court

Israel's Sde Teiman prison in the Negev desert has been dubbed "Israel's Guantanamo Bay" due to reports of torture and violations against Palestinian detainees arrested during the Gaza war as 10 soldiers were recently held over for questioning as part of an investigation into the gang-rape of a Palestinian.

One of the men was hospitalized with kidney failure and 11 broken ribs. Another was nearly unrecognizable to his wife when he was wheeled into a courtroom. A third was stitched up after being attacked by a security dog.

The Greek Orthodox Church says it has filed a new lawsuit against a Jewish settler group in a bid to overturn an Israeli Supreme Court decision upholding the sale of three properties in predominantly Palestinian parts of Jerusalem's Old City.

The extension of Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory and air strikes on Gaza have overshadowed the first ever ministerial-level visit from Turkey to Israel since relations deteriorated in 2010. 

Palestinian detainee Mohammed Allan ended his 65-day hunger strike against his detention without trial on Aug. 19 after the Israeli Supreme Court suspended his arrest warrant, his lawyer said.
