In US history the mutilation of bodies was common place. Massacres of Indigenous groups were often followed by taking body parts as trophies, including genitals and breasts. Children were not exempted. Scalps were especially common and would be roped together by the dozen. These were sometimes traded to the state for a bounty (this is what the Washington Commanders former name was in reference to) or were presented to a community gathering to prove the new “safety” the militias or regulars had brought.

In some instances all the noses of killed people would be piled together and collected. Strips of skin were used to make leather for the reigns of horse bridels. Prominent native figures that you have likley heard of were skinned for the purpose of making saddles as well.

This violence was actually not entirely limited to native people, although it was far and away the most common. For example, Joseph Smith also mutilated his white enemies. He would castrate the husbands of women he wanted and nail their genitals to the town bulletin board.

The OP instance of mutilation is perhaps a specific, particular kind that is imagined within zionism, but other settler-colonial projects certainly parallel this.
