Israeli media reports said the soldiers have been accused of sexually abusing a member of an elite Hamas unit at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev desert in southern Israel.
“Israel remains steadfast in its commitment to the rule of law and the humane treatment of all detainees with all allegations of violence of any sort being methodically investigated by Israeli authorities,” the ministry said.
The United Nations says it has received multiple reports of alleged torture against Palestinians detained since October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants stormed Israel in a shock assault that killed some 1,200 people.
