Israel's military dismissed its former top lawyer months after she resigned amid a scandal involving a leaked video that appeared to show soldiers severely abusing a Palestinian detainee.

Israel’s soldiers must be warriors capable of defeating enemies who celebrate barbarism. But they must also be protected by legal systems that provide clarity, credibility, and fairness.

The Israeli military's top lawyer cites "exceptional circumstances" for dropping the case involving a Palestinian man held at Sde Teiman military prison.

Bar Kupershtein shared his harrowing experience of Hamas brutality, recounting how his leg was broken and attributing the violence to political figures and the Sde Teiman facility.

Katz’s push to reinstate the Sde Teiman guards faces skepticism from the IDF and legal experts, with doubts over his authority and legal basis for returning them to service.

The Justice Ministry's legal advisor has recommended that the State-Attorney lead the investigation into the leak of Sde Teiman footage, which would make the State-Attorney the sole arbiter for filing criminal charges.

Military prosecutors dropped charges against five Israeli soldiers in the 'Sde Teiman' case, where they were accused of raping a Palestinian, citing lack of evidence and procedural errors, including a leaked video.
