Israeli military eprosecutors have called for soldiers accused of involvement in the sexual abuse of a Palestinian detainee to be released and placed under house arrest, pending further investigation.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced today that military prosecutors have requested that the soldiers be placed under house arrest until at least August 22.

Israeli media reported that a court is expected to approve the release of five reservists under a plan agreed to by both the military prosecution and the soldiers’ defense group.

A leaked video last week showing Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teiman shocked some Israeli public opinion, but many others, including members of the Israeli government, denounced the soldiers’ arrests and tried to block the arrests. their arrests, while they clashed with the police and other Israeli forces.

The soldiers were arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a Hamas member so badly that he had to be taken to hospital with injuries.

The attack on the detainee is believed to have been so brutal that, after he was taken to hospital, Israeli media reported that the victim is unable to walk.

The Israeli military initially arrested 10 soldiers in Sde Teiman. Five of them were released.

Reports and reports from many organizations speak of inhumane conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, and there are regular incidents of abuse, torture, sexual assault and rape.

Last week the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in a report published spoke of arbitrary and prolonged detentions and detention of Palestinians in solitary confinement by the Israeli authorities since last October.

At least 53 prisoners from Gaza and the West Bank have died while in Israeli custody since October 7, according to the report.
