IDF soldiers get 42 days for violent arrest of Palestinian man
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Southern District Military Court sentences three IDF soldiers to 42 days in jail for using unauthorized and excessive force while detaining a Palestinian man last year, the army says.
The soldiers admitted to violently arresting a Palestinian man in October 2016, who was protesting his detainment as part of a plea deal reached with military prosecutors.
Reports from eyewitnesses at the scene prompted the IDF to open an investigation into the incident in March.
The IDF says the conviction would not appear on the soldiers’ criminal record.
