An Israeli teenager has said that she was gang-raped during a visit to the resort city of Eilat, and one of the accused has said that as many as 30 men joined in the attack, shocking the nation as police officers began rounding up suspects.

Two 27-year-old men from northern Israel were in custody by midday Thursday, the police said, and a special investigation team was gathering surveillance images, cellphone data and other evidence to try to identify other potential suspects.

Israel has been through repeated rounds of soul-searching over cases of sexual assault in recent years, but the Aug. 12 attack, news of which broke late Wednesday, quickly overtook the national conversation.

The sheer number of men involved, attributed to a lawyer for one of the two suspects arrested, ignited a storm of outrage.
