The Israeli military has confirmed that nine soldiers are being held for questioning in connection with allegations of substantial abuse of a detainee at a detention facility in Sde Teiman, where Palestinian prisoners have been held during the Gaza conflict. The military has not provided specific details regarding the alleged abuse but has initiated an investigation led by its top legal official.
Reports by various sources, including The Associated Press and rights groups, have shed light on the poor conditions at the Sde Teiman facility, which is known as the largest detention center in Israel. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, also documented claims of ill-treatment and abuse by detainees in Israeli custody.
