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... it a crime against humanity'.
One suspect has 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.
One suspect claims that the men 'lined up' outside the girl's room before going inside to assault her.
Another of the alleged attackers was said to have entered the girl's room under the pretense of being a medic who wanted to help.
The alleged attacker 'took advantage of her and slept with her when she was out of control', the friend told Israeli television.
Authorities are now awaiting the results of a medical examination, while one man has been ordered to stay in custody by a magistrates court.
