Israel soldier accused of raping Palestinian prisoner appeals for support

A masked Israeli soldier, accused of participating in a horrific gang rape of a Palestinian male prisoner has revealed his identity in a video posted on social media appealing for support from the Israeli public following global outcry and punishment demands.

The rape-accused soldier, who earlier appeared on Israeli news channels with a mask concealing his identity, released



his video on social media without a mask.

The solider posted his statement amid escalating allegations of sexual abuse and torture of Palestinian detainees in Israeli military facilities particularly at the Sde Teiman torture cell which human rights organisations including B’Tselem and the Israeli Information Centre for Human Rights describe as a “lawless black hole.”.
