The Jaffa Military Court indicted a lieutenant and a staff-sergeant in the IDF over charges they assaulted detained Palestinians.

The alleged crime was supposed to have taken place in West Bank during September 2008. The indictment claims that one of the soldiers gored a Palestinians, kick him in the abdomen and tore his shirt:

“Two Israel Defense Forces servicemen were indicted Monday for aggravated assault against Palestinian detainees in the West Bank….

…The incident took place in late September 2008 in the West Bank. According to the indictment, while on a military motorcade patrolling the area, the troops stopped their car and the medic then proceeded to gore one of the Palestinians with his helmet, kick him in the abdomen and tear his shirt, while the officer – his direct superior – stood by and watched.

The medic also struck a second Palestinian and shoved a third one, who dared asked what he was doing, to the ground.

The two then turned their attention to frisking several other Palestinian, who were also detained. While one of them was being questioned, the officer hit him over the head, while the medic pinned him to a nearby wall, choked him and kicked him.

Other Palestinian detainees were also assaulted by the two. They were slapped, pinned down and jolted. “
