意大利检察官已对以色列国防部长以色列·卡茨以及12名高级军方、警察和监狱官员展开调查，原因是他们涉嫌在加沙团结船只上拘留活动人士时的待遇问题，此举扩大了此前聚焦于极端民族安全部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔的调查。
Italian prosecutors have placed Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz and 12 senior military, police and prison officials under investigation over the treatment of activists detained on Gaza-bound solidarity boats, widening a probe that had centred on far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
罗马检察官办公室周五表示，该案涉及以色列军方在2025年和2026年拦截前往加沙的活动人士小型船队时，涉嫌酷刑、绑架、人身伤害、抢劫和财物损毁。
The Rome prosecutors’ office said on Friday that the case concerns suspected torture, kidnapping, personal injury, robbery and damage when Israeli forces intercepted small fleets of activist boats heading towards Gaza in 2025 and 2026.
此次调查的启动源于50名意大利公民的投诉，他们在去年和今年的两次全球萨穆德船队行动中被拘留。被列为嫌疑人的包括以色列军方总参谋长埃亚尔·扎米尔。
It opened the investigation after complaints from 50 Italian citizens who were detained following two Global Sumud Flotilla missions last year and this year. Those named as suspects include Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir.
检察官表示，2025年首次行动后被拘留的活动人士报告称遭到殴打、受伤、死亡威胁、辱骂以及被指控恐怖主义。而2026年第二次行动中被拘留的活动人士则报告称遭受更严酷待遇，包括在黑暗中被殴打、使用电击枪和橡皮子弹，声明中如此称。活动人士报告称至少发生15起性侵犯案件，其中包括强奸。
Prosecutors said activists detained after the first mission in 2025 reported beatings, injuries, death threats, insults and accusations of terrorism. Those on the second mission in 2026 reported harsher treatment, including beatings in the dark and the use of tasers and rubber bullets, the statement said. The activists reported at least 15 cases of sexual assault, including rape.
被拘留的意大利经济学家卢卡·波吉在五月接受路透社采访时说：“我们被剥光衣服，被扔到地上，被踢。”本-格维尔在六月驳斥了有关调查的消息，称他将“继续自豪地站在以色列士兵身旁”。
Luca Poggi, an Italian economist who was detained, told Reuters news agency in May: “We were stripped, thrown to the ground, kicked.”Ben-Gvir dismissed news of the investigation in June, saying he would “continue to stand proudly alongside” Israeli soldiers.
船队组织者表示，他们旨在通过运送人道主义援助来打破以色列对加沙的封锁。
Flotilla organisers say they aim to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza by delivering humanitarian aid.
首次全球萨穆德船队于2025年9月从巴塞罗那出发，共有42艘船只和462名活动人士。以色列军方当年10月初在国际水域拦截了该船队，数百人被拘留，随后被驱逐出境。
The first Global Sumud Flotilla set sail from Barcelona in September 2025 with 42 boats and 462 activists. Israeli forces intercepted it in international waters in early October that year, with hundreds detained and later deported.
第二次任务于2026年4月离开巴塞罗那。以色列军队于4月30日开始在克里特岛南部附近拦截该任务的船只，到5月19日为止，已在国际水域拦截了约50艘船只，扣押了约430人，最终拦截行动发生在塞浦路斯附近。
The second mission left Barcelona in April 2026. Israeli forces began intercepting its vessels near the southern Greek island of Crete on April 30, and by May 19 had detained about 430 people on some 50 ships in international waters, with the final interceptions taking place off Cyprus.
本-格维尔后来发布了一段视频，视频中他嘲弄被捆绑并跪在阿什杜德港临时监狱中的活动人士，而以色列国歌正在播放。
Ben-Gvir later posted a video showing him taunting activists who were cable-tied and kneeling at a makeshift prison at the port of Ashdod while Israel’s national anthem played.
检察官表示，他们在6月向以色列发送了司法协助请求，旨在获取信息以重建事件并确定个人责任，但未说明以色列是否作出回应。
Prosecutors said they sent Israel a request for judicial assistance in June, seeking information to reconstruct events and establish individual responsibility, but did not say whether Israel had responded.
他们还在欧盟司法合作机构欧洲司法刑事警察组织（Eurojust）举行了会谈，因为其他欧洲国家也正在开展类似调查。
They also held talks at Eurojust, the EU’s judicial cooperation agency, as other similar investigations are under way in other European countries.
根据意大利法律，在国外针对意大利公民实施的犯罪行为可以在罗马受到起诉。如果调查认定指控成立，检察官可以正式提出审判请求。
Under Italian law, crimes committed abroad against Italian citizens can be prosecuted in Rome. If the investigation finds the charges warranted, prosecutors could formally request a trial.
