 Israeli sources reported that the army decided to court martial Israeli soldiers who filmed themselves humiliating and abusing a bound Palestinian man at a roadblock in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli TV, Channel 10, reported that Israeli army chief of staff, Gabi Ashkenazi, ordered a probe into the incident and ordered the Israeli Army Northern Command leader, Gadi Eizencot, to oversee the investigation. The video was made public when a number of soldiers of the Golani infantry brigade of the Israeli army posted a video on YouTube showing the bound and blindfolded Palestinian man forced to repeat humiliating sentences while the soldiers were laughing in the background. The army claimed that it initiated a probe into the abuse, and an army official stated that the army was never aware of the incident until it received the clip from Channel 10. The official added that the army will decide whether to take steps and what steps to take. The army issued a statement denouncing the incident and initiated a probe. |
