The Israeli military said Monday it was holding nine soldiers for questioning following allegations of"substantial abuse" of a detainee at a shadowy facility where Israel has held Palestinian prisoners throughout the war in Gaza.
After the military cleared the protesters, several hundreds of them regrouped outside the military base where the nine soldiers were taken for questioning. Video showed a swarm of people trying to push their way through the gates of the base and being pushed back by soldiers. Some of the protesters were masked and carried guns. Others called through megaphones for the soldiers' immediate release.
Israel has long been accused of failing to hold its soldiers accountable for crimes committed against Palestinians. The allegations have intensified during the war in Gaza. Israel says its forces act within military and international law and says it independently investigates any alleged abuses. Officials from Egypt and Hamas said Monday that mediators were still working to smooth out sticking points.
Israel’s military seized control of the Philadelphi corridor in early May along with the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza when it began its invasion of Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah.
