Israeli police are investigating claims that a 16-year-old girl was gang-raped by 30 men in the coastal resort of Eilat.  

Two men have been arrested so far over allegations that the girl was repeatedly assaulted while she was drunk in a hotel room, before she went to police last Friday. 

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the alleged gang-rape was not just a crime against the girl but a crime against humanity. 

A suspect told investigators that a large group of men had sex with the girl but claimed that it was consensual, according to the Times of Israel

Some of the men are alleged to have filmed the attacks on their phones, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz

The first suspect was reportedly arrested after messages emerged showing that there was video footage of the alleged rape.  

Police say the girl was not a guest at the hotel, but had gone to the bathroom after drinking there with some of her friends. 

She was then allegedly taken to one of the hotel rooms and raped by the group of men, who did not all know each other.
