An Israeli media outlet recently showed the faces of several suspects detained in the Sde Teiman abuse case, drawing harsh criticism from the IDF.
“The IDF views with severity the publication of the faces of those suspected of abusing a security detainee under aggravating circumstances, which constitute a blatant violation of the military court’s gag order,” the IDF says in a statement.
The images had been aired by the Arabic-language channel of Kan news, Makan.
“As soon as the incident was discovered, a comprehensive inspection was carried out and a request was made to the media outlet on behalf of the IDF Spokespersons Unit to remove the footage,” the military adds.
Five soldiers are currently held over the suspected sexual abuse of a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility.
