Far-right lawmakers and activists breached the IDF’s Sde Teiman base after nine soldiers were taken from there earlier today for questioning for allegedly abusing a Palestinian detainee.

Among those who broke into the base, which serves as a detention facility, is Zvi Succot of the ultranationalist  Religious Zionism party.

In a video filmed at the base, Sukkot declares that “we cannot investigate the soldiers until we investigate those who failed” to prevent October 7.

Taking up a megaphone, he tells protesters: “We have no other army, this is an important demonstration, let’s go outside and not fight with the soldiers.”
