ALBAWABA- In a heinous incident during a recent Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank, two masked Israeli female soldiers, accompanied by an attack-trained dog, humiliated and forced five Palestinian women, including a mother, her daughter, and three daughters-in-law, to undress entirely one by one and walk naked before them.  

According to  "Haaretz", the soldiers threatened to unleash the dog if the women didn't comply. Meanwhile, male family members underwent body searches without disrobing. 

This incident occurred while the Israeli military conducted a raid on a Palestinian family's building, under the pretext of suspecting the presence of weapons. 

The building, housing 26 family members, including 15 children and teenagers, was searched by around 50 Israeli soldiers, approximately half of whom entered homes and woke residents with flashlights.

After their departure, the family discovered the disappearance of gold jewelry worth around $11,000, which was later returned by the police, claiming it was mistaken for bullets by the soldiers.
