6th soldier arrested for beating bound and blindfolded Palestinian suspects

The IDF has arrested a sixth soldier suspected of involvement in the brutal beating of two Palestinian detainees last month, Hebrew media reports.

Earlier today, the army announced that it plans to indict five soldiers, who it believes attacked the two suspects “when they were handcuffed and blindfolded.”

The two Palestinians had been arrested in a raid conducted as part of a search for a terrorist who had killed two of the servicemen’s comrades in a shooting attack outside the Givat Assaf outpost in the central West Bank.
