An IDF reservist has been indicted for abusing Palestinian detainees, unrelated to the ongoing investigation against nine soldiers who were taken for questioning yesterday.
According to an indictment filed by military prosecutors, the reservist in several incidents between February and June, while securing the transport of terror suspects, allegedly “used severe violence against the detainees he was entrusted with guarding.”
“During some of the transports, without any danger from the security detainees, and while the detainees were handcuffed and blindfolded, the defendant hit them,” the IDF says.
The reservist allegedly hit the detainees with a stick and his personal weapon, while filming the acts, according to the incitement.
He is charged with several counts of aggravated abuse and conduct unbecoming a soldier.
