The Palestinian detainee who was allegedly abused by Israeli reservist troops at the Sde Teiman detention facility had been arrested by the IDF in the Gaza Strip several weeks ago and was allegedly involved in acts of terrorism.
According to an Army Radio report, the abuse itself took place some three weeks ago at Sde Teiman.
The report says that the terror suspect was found at the military base in critical condition and taken to a hospital for treatment and surgery. He is now no longer in life-threatening condition.
Over the last three weeks, Military Police investigators collected evidence on the incident and decided today to take the suspects in for questioning, the report says.
Ten suspects are allegedly involved, nine of whom were detained today at Sde Teiman.
Army Radio says they are all suspected of “serious abuse of the detainee,” and they all likely carried out the abuse together.
