Israeli military‘s top lawyer resigns over leak of video allegedly showing abuse of Palestinian detainee

(October 31, 2025)

After her resignation was accepted by the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Katz put out a statement welcoming the decision.

„Anyone who spreads blood libels against IDF troops is unfit to wear the army‘s uniform,“ he said.

The leaked video was broadcast on the Israeli Channel 12 news in August 2024.

The footage shows soldiers at Sde Teiman taking aside a detainee, then surrounding him with riot shields to block visibility while he was stabbed in the rectum with a sharp object. The detainee was treated for severe injuries.
