The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Prosecution plans to oppose the release from house arrest of five reservist soldiers suspected of abusing a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility. Military prosecutors are requesting a two-week extension of their house arrest as the investigation continues. The soldiers are accused of beating, tasing, and sodomizing the detainee, who is suspected of being a terrorist. Testimonies from the detainee include allegations of a female soldier inflicting injuries. The case has drawn significant attention, and the Military Police are conducting a high-profile investigation into the allegations.
