History repeats itself

Also looking up Southern Lebanese cities that Israel would have retreated from, I encountered this page about a 'detention' center (torture facility; content warning: descriptions of torture because Western secular liberal democracy):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khiam_detention_center

Gonna check the Hebrew version of this page and see what Israelis are saying was actually happening there.

EDIT: Translating the Hebrew to English, we get:

In southern Lebanon, there was a barracks of the French army which was built in the thirties. After that, the building was used by the Lebanese army, until it came under the control of the South Lebanese army. In 1985 it was converted to serve as a detention center, a prison and an interrogation facility until the withdrawal of the IDF from South Lebanon in May 2000 and the dissolution of the South Lebanon Army. After the withdrawal, Hezbollah turned the prison into a museum[1]. Prisoners who stayed in the prison reported harsh interrogations and the use of torture. Among other things, it was reported Confinement cells with a height of 0.7 meters and a floor area of ​​0.5 square meters, about confinement in perpetual darkness, and about whippings.

Al-Khyam prison also had a women's wing for female prisoners. The most famous prisoner in the prison was Suha Beshara who tried to assassinate the commander of the SDF, Antoine Lahad.

The prison building was destroyed by Israeli Air Force strikes during the Second Lebanon War.

The State of Israel denied direct involvement in the management of the prison and claimed that the facility was transferred to the authority of the South Lebanese Army in 1988. Before the prison was transferred to the responsibility of the South Lebanese Army, the IDF confirmed (in 1986) that an American citizen captured by the forces of the South Lebanese Army was transferred to Al-Khyam Prison and was interrogated in the camp by two SDF members and an Israeli investigator in order to ensure that the interrogated received proper treatment[2]. However, in the affidavit[3] given by Dan Halutz on behalf of the Ministry of Defense, he admitted to some involvement of Israel, including the payment of salaries to prison guards and staff and the training of investigators.

In 2022, following a petition by human rights activists to the High Court, the Shin Bet allowed the publication of documents including documentation of torture such as electrocution, starvation and denial of medical treatment. Additional documents that the Shin Bet allowed to be published in 2024 show that a member of the Shin Bet supervised the SDF investigators and guided them

HMMMMMMMM.........HMMMMMMMMMMM..........Very interesting wording and speculation here! Also the omitted quote from the English article!
