An Israeli soldier who raped a Palestinian prisoner alongside other soldiers appeared on Israeli channel 14 to defend his unit that committed the rape. The incident sparked outrage as it was filmed on CCTV cameras and spread to the media.
The incident happened in the Sde Teiman detention center, where several reports have revealed the brutal condition and systematic torture, including rape, electric shocks, and starvation against Palestinian prisoners.
The incident has sparked an outrage in Israel, mainly for initiating an investigation and questioning the soldiers but not for the rape itself. Israelis, including politicians and reserve soldiers, have even taken a step ahead, storming a military base to protest the investigation and release the soldiers, simply protesting the soldiers’ rights of raping prisoners.
