An Israeli soldier stationed at a military outpost near Nablus in the West Bank is accused of brutally assaulting a Palestinian detainee. According to Channel 12 News, the abuse included beating the detainee, urinating on him, and covering his face with his own feces. The incident allegedly occurred after the soldier arrested a Palestinian man at a nearby crossing and found a small knife in his vehicle.
