Soldiers suspected of beating to be held in prolonged custody

Four combat soldiers from the IDF’s ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda Battalion who were indicted at the Jaffa Military Court for abuse under aggravated circumstances after allegedly beating several Palestinian detainees, will be held in custody until the end of proceedings.

According to the indictments, the soldiers are suspected of kicking and slapping detainees, all of whom were arrested for involvement in terrorist activities during raids on villages near the Palestinian West Bank city of Jenin.
