One of the nine reserve soldiers held over the alleged sexual abuse of a Palestinian detainee has been released from custody.
There is an ongoing hearing at the Beit Lid base to extend the remand of the soldiers who were arrested yesterday at the Sde Teiman detention facility over the incident.
Amid the discussion, military prosecutors announced that they would not seek to extend the arrest of one of the nine suspects, following new information in the investigation.
According to the IDF, he is not one of the main suspects in the incident of serious abuse of a Palestinian detainee at Sde Teiman.
The reservists have been suspected of aggravated sodomy (a charge equivalent to rape), causing bodily harm under aggravated circumstances, abuse under aggravated circumstances and conduct unbecoming of a soldier.
