Military prosecutors are preparing to charge an IDF combat soldier with severe abuse of a Palestinian detainee in the West Bank, according to Times of Israel reporting on 11 November 2026. The soldier allegedly beat a cuffed, blindfolded man with the butt of a gun, burned him with a cigarette, urinated on him and smeared feces on him, and other soldiers who were shocked reported the incident. Ynetnews reported that military police have repeatedly extended the soldier's detention. The soldier denies the allegations, says the detainee was already injured when he arrived, and has urged investigators to examine other suspects.
