Dozens of right-wing protesters have broken into the IDF’s Beit Lid base in central Israel, where nine soldiers are being questioned over their alleged involvement in the serious abuse of a Palestinian detainee.

The soldiers were taken for questioning earlier today from the Sde Teiman detention facility in southern Israel.

A mob, including ultranationalist lawmakers and ministers, then infiltrated Sde Teiman in protest, before heading to Beit Lid where the soldiers are currently held.
