An Israeli soldier has been accused of abusing a Palestinian detainee at a military outpost in the occupied West Bank, including beating him, urinating on him and smearing faeces on his face.

According to Israel’s Channel 12 News, the abuse took place last month at the Jalameh military outpost, after Israeli soldiers arrested a Palestinian man at a nearby crossing.

The soldiers reportedly found a small knife in his car. The Palestinian was later released without charge.

The soldiers initially transferred him to the outpost handcuffed and blindfolded, where military police investigators suspect one of them began abusing him.
