Israel's prime minister vows probe into 'sex slave' prison case

JERUSALEM: Israel's premier promised an investigation Sunday into allegations by a female former guard at a maximum security prison that she was repeatedly raped by a Palestinian inmate after being forced to work as a"sex slave" by her superiors.

But management of the prison came under fresh scrutiny in September last year, when six Palestinian prisoners broke out of Gilboa by tunnelling out of their cells through the drainage system, an escape that captured global headlines. But last week a woman who identified herself as a former Gilboa guard, and who remained anonymous, posted testimony online saying that she was repeatedly raped by a Palestinian prisoner."I didn't want to be raped, to be violated again and again," she said.

Reacting to the developments, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid told his cabinet on Sunday:"It cannot be that a soldier is raped by a terrorist during her service."
