The IDF confirmed on Thursday that it has identified the soldiers involved in an incident where a Palestinian suspect was blindfolded and bound to a bed, after a photograph of the incident circulated on social media. The military said a thorough investigation located the incident, and that an investigation by the soldiers' commanders is underway. Those involved will be 'treated in accordance with the findings.'
The photo and allegations have drawn attention to the conduct of Israeli forces in detention situations. The Zioneer has previously reported on other incidents of alleged misconduct by soldiers, including a video of a detainee bound in Gaza and an assault in Hawara, though those cases are separate and not directly linked to this event.
