Not just riots. It very much had the potential to turn into a full coup or civil war. Unfortunately, they gave in to the demands of…being allowed to gang rape prisoners until they require hospitalization…
Israeli settlers began rioting on 29 July after Israeli military police stormed the Sde Teiman detention center – known for its brutal and inhumane treatment of Palestinian detainees – and arrested nine soldiers behind the sexual assault of a Palestinian prisoner.
The prisoner had been raped violently by the soldiers to the point where the prisoner required hospitalization, resulting in the opening of an investigation.
Israeli settlers, far-right activists, and Knesset members broke into the Sde Teiman detention center in defense of the detained soldiers. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and other officials urged their followers to storm the facility and demand the release of the soldiers.
Members of the Knesset representing several political parties, including the Likud, also took part in the riots. After the nine soldiers were moved to the Beit Lid base for questioning, settler rioters also arrived at the site.
Hebrew news outlet Channel 14 reported on 29 July that the soldiers’ arrest warrants were canceled and that military police limited themselves to just an interrogation.
