Israeli media airs footage allegedly showing soldiers sexually abusing Palestinian detainee

Surveillance footage newly aired by Israel's Channel 12 showed what appeared to be Israeli soldiers sexually assaulting a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the south of the country.

The incident took place in late July and led to the arrests of nine soldiers and an investigation into what Israel's advocate general said was the "suspected substantial abuse of a detainee". A spokesperson for Israel’s embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters on the new footage.

The Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz spoke to Yoel Donchin, the doctor who treated the prisoner in the incident who said he suffered from "a ruptured bowel, a severe injury to his anus, lung damage and broken ribs".

"We investigated ourselves and concluded that the rapists are victims"

[Hiptoys]

Most moral army in the world! What a joke!

[Keyboard_Thoughts]

This is what happens when an entire nation is built on the idea that they can't be held accountable.

[StevefromPR]

Add this to the fact that there's children in these so called detention centers.

[MrsEmmaMyfanwyDean-qb]

I promise you they are not sorry at all. Israel sees Palestinians as less than human. They are only upset they got caught

[MANTUEFLIE]

"Israel has investigated Israel and found no wrong doing"

[josron]

They knew there was surveillance. They did it anyway. Can you imagine what goes on when there isn't any ?

[christopherbrubaker]

I can’t defend that behavior in any universe. It’s vile and evil.

[farrahs]

Yes, they will investigate and punish the person who leaked the footage. Not the criminals

[adem]

The person who released this video is real human.

[Vassi_Drakonov]

Blue and White flag war criminals: "We investigated ourselves and conclude that we're the victims here."

[badbenito]

I love how every bad thing Israel does is "allegedly."
