IDF condemns video of soldier wearing woman’s underwear during raid on West Bank home

The IDF condemns a group of soldiers, one of whose number was filmed wearing undergarments taken from a Palestinian woman during a raid on her home in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

“This is a serious incident that does not align with the values of the IDF. We are aware of the incident and dealing with it,” the IDF says in a statement.

“The soldiers involved will be questioned and face disciplinary measures from their commanders,” the army says.

In pictures and videos posted online, a soldier can be seen prancing around in a pink undergarment and bra worn over his fatigues, while the group was carrying out an operation in Bethlehem.

In the video, set to the song “You Can Leave Your Hat On,” the soldier then begins to mimic a striptease act.

חיילים בתוך בית בבית לחם, אחד מהם הולך לחדר השינה ולובש הלבשה תחתונה של נשים, אז עכשיו עברו מהלבשה תחתונה של נשים עזתיות להלבשה תחתונה של נשים בגדה. pic.twitter.com/rIfpcvYJZq
