Yearlong investigation culminates in indictment of five soldiers accused of beating 13 Palestinian prisoners under their charge, forcing them to eat Israeli snacks

At the conclusion of an investigation lasting more than a year, the Military Advocate General has charged five soldiers from the Nahshon Battalion with three counts of aggravated assault.
Three of the soldiers have already been discharged from the army and one was transferred to another unit. Only one soldier remains in active duty in the battalion.
According to the indictment, the soldiers were responsible for transferring 13 Palestinian detainees from the Tulkarm Regional Brigade to an IDF military court in northern Israel in April 2006.
During the journey, the soldiers grabbed the prisoners by their hair, struck their chests and necks and demanded they repeat the number soldiers had previously assigned them with. When a prisoner would say the correct number, the soldiers would fall upon him in a beating frenzy.
The indictment also charges the soldiers with forced the prisoners to eat Bamba, an Israel snack food made of peanut butter. The soldiers reportedly ridiculed the prisoners while they ate. The soldiers also stopped along the way to buy French fries and force-fed them to the Palestinians.
When they arrived at the court, the soldiers had the blindfolded men walk in circles while warning them there were steps in front of them. The troops are also accused of cursing the men and their wives.
A military official involved in the handling of the case told Ynet that the army has ordered the accused soldiers be dealt with to the full extent of the law, even though much time has passed since the incident and some of the indicted troops no longer serve in the IDF.
"We view this incident with the utmost severity and this is how we intend to deal with the legal proceedings against the soldiers," said the IDF source.
The investigation into the incident began after a human rights group appealed to the army related information regarding the suspected abuse.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
When I first read your comment on this headline, I thought this must be a joke ... little to my surprise.
I like Bamba. Please tell me this is a joke.
Uh,,what was it the soldiers did wrong again?
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
Aren’t their dietary restrictions the same? They were probably fed those because they are kosher and figured to be safe.
After one circle the guys could have figured out there were no steps. DUH!
If the Israelis really wanted to ‘abuse’ prisoners, they would use them as human shields in Sderot.
Which is a plan, actually.
The probably gave them a Bisli with a Malt Star to wash it down with...
Oh, the humanity!
Its a good thing taht the prisoners were not fed Nuttella. They could have developed diabetes or something!
They could have been given salty chips, then they might get high blood pressure!
Funny, the left wing press makes this sound terrible but when palis bomb the sh** out of Israeli citizens, women and children, they hardly mention it. How do the members of the MSM sleep at night supporting people like muslim terrorists, Stalin, Castro, Che and every other left wing idiot they can think of?

They seem to have no soul. No soul and no conscience. Plus, there are plenty of pharmaceuticals out there to quiet a troubled mind. Thinking can be regulated by the use of a pill.
Just look at Viagra (ooops! - obvious sarc).
I couldn’t resist.
If they really want to show them who’s boss they break out
THE COMFY CHAIR!
Oh the inanity! Let them eat shi’ite and speed them to their “virgins”..
OH, THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!/s
