The Department for Internal Police Investigations (DIPI) reveals what appears to be an incident in which a Palestinian man was violently assaulted and abducted by a group of four police officers, four IDF soldiers, and one Israeli civilian in August.
According to details released by DIPI, the suspects attacked a Palestinian man in the area of Nahal Auja in the central West Bank, north of the Kochav Hashahar settlement.
They then took him to a nearby location and a short while later he was found and taken for medical treatment for his injuries.
The DIPI conducted a secret investigation together with the military police and arrested the nine suspects this morning.
The four police officers and the civilian will be brought to the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court today for a hearing on extending their detention, while the soldiers will be brought in front of a military court for the same proceedings.
According to Ynet, the civilian suspect is Saar Ofir, a resident of the Elkana settlement in the central West Bank who was arrested in July on suspicion of executing a Hamas terrorist captured by IDF forces in Gaza.
