An Israeli military court sentenced a soldier to seven months in prison after he confessed to offensive Palestinian detainees from Gaza at the Sde Teiman Military Detention Center.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that the reserve, whose name was not mentioned, was convicted of “several incidents in which he punched the detainees with his fist and used his weapon while they were handcuffed and blindfolded.”
“I committed these actions in the presence of other soldiers, and some of them called for a stop, and until it was documented on the mobile phone of the defendant,” he added.
Haritz newspaper said The first soldier was convicted of abuse of Ghazan, which was held during the war with Hamas.
She cited the Military Court, Lyd Bait, as saying that the soldier confessed to three charges related to strict abuse and one charge of unusual behavior as part of a call deal with the public prosecutors.
They said they were associated with four separate accidents between January and June 2024, when he was guarding the trucks that transport the detainees.
According to Haaretz, the court found that an unspecified number of convincing soldiers, whose identities remain unknown, also participated in ill -treatment.
In addition to the prison sentence, the convicted soldier also obtained a suspended penalty and its rank has been reduced to the rank, according to the IDF Federation.
The Israeli Defense Army said: “The soldiers have the duty to use the force assigned to them according to the values and orders of the Israeli Defense Army, at all times and in times of war in particular.”
The Sde Teiman detention facility was created after the Gaza war started 15 months ago. Since then, he was in a center of reports on serious violations.
In July, the right -wing demonstrators from Sde Teiman stormed after the Israeli military police went there to interrogate nine reserve soldiers suspected of raping a detainee and causing a life -threatening injury. Several reserve soldiers were arrested later.
In October, a report issued by the United Nations Investigation Committee claimed that thousands of children and adults from Gaza “were exposed to extensive and methodological abuse, physical and psychological violence, sexual and sexual violence that depends on the crime of war and crime against the humanity of torture and the crime of war of rape And other forms of sexual violence.
The government of Israel said it has rejected the charges of abuse on a large scale and torture of detainees, and insisted that it was “completely committed to international legal standards.” He also said that she had made comprehensive investigations into every complaint.
The Israeli army launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented attack across the border on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 grooves were taken.
More than 4,750 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the region.
According to the Israeli rights group Hamoted, 1802 Palestinians from Gaza are currently being held as “illegal fighters” in Israeli prisons. The number of detainees held by the army does not include.
