Israel's Channel 2 TV station released this video footage showing Palestinian detainees being treated as sub-human by Israeli troops in the regime's desert prison of Naqab (Negev)in 2007.

It shows the incitement of sleeping, unarmed Palestinian prisoners in the middle of the night by Israeli Masada Combats.

The prison commandor ordered this incitement to "increase the morale and motivation" of the regular prison guards.

During this assault by masked Israeli combatants, one Palestinian died and several others sustained injuries.


Watch and know that Israel's nauseating refrain that their police and army are "moral" is a big lie.

Since 1967, approximately 700,000 Palestinians have been arrested and detained under Israeli military orders. This number accounts for close to 20 percent of the population in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Order to shoot bound man `behavior unfitting a commander`

Bethlehem - Ma'an/Agencies - An Israeli military court convicted for the second time a soldier and an officer filmed shooting a bound and blindfolded protester, the country's daily Haaretz reported on Thursday.

The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem responded to the news saying the new convictions were "important," but called on the military to "act to root out ill treatment."

Following an Israeli court reprimand that resulted in no disciplinary action, four rights groups petitioned for further action against Lieutenant Colonel Omri Burberg, who was filmed holding a blindfolded and bound prisoner and ordering Staff Sargent Leonardo Korea to fire a rubber bullet into the leg of 27-year-old Ashraf Abu Rahme, a Palestinian protester in the West Bank village of Nil'in.

The military court's second look at the case resulted in Military Advocate General Avichai Mandelblit adding attempted threat and behavior unfitting for a commander to the charges against Burburg, and illegal use of a weapon to the charges against Korea, Haaretz reported.

"The military must now act decisively and proactively to ensure that the far too common phenomenon of ill treatment of Palestinian detainees is not tolerated," B'Tselem said in a statement.

Following the release of the video used in the case against the soldiers, which was filmed by a young girl from Ni'lin, the girl's father has been twice detained and her family has suffered harassment.
