NGO alleges IDF not investigating wayward soldiers
An Israeli advocacy group is criticizing what it says is an “exceptionally low” prosecution rate by the Israeli military in cases of violence committed by soldiers against Palestinians.
Yesh Din says the army opened 186 criminal investigations into suspected offenses against Palestinians in 2015, but just four of those investigations yielded indictments.
The group, in an annual report released Tuesday, says the figures were based on the most up-to-date figures from the military. The report says the figures illustrate the military’s “inability and unwillingness” to address unlawful conduct.
