in reply to Nonilex • • •It happened at #SdeTeiman, a facility holding #Palestinians rounded up in #Gaza during Israel’s #war against #Hamas. The leaked video was aired by Israel’s Channel 12 & bitterly divided #Israel.
Hard-line ultranationalists were furious that the soldiers were arrested. Members of #Netanyahu’s govt were in uproar, leading to the resignation of the military’s top legal official, who had filed the #indictment & authorized the leak.

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Israel has long been accused of failing to hold its #soldiers accountable for #crimes committed against #Palestinians. The allegations have intensified during the #war in #Gaza. Israel says its forces act within military & #InternationalLaw & says it thoroughly investigates any alleged abuses. [BS this brutal attack was caught on video]
