Israeli soldiers 'unleashing severe abuse' on Palestinians, warns B'Tselem

Israeli human rights group B'Tselem documented "brutal violence" by Israeli soldiers against Palestinians in central Hebron in a new report. 

The organisation collected over 20 testimonies from central Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, where victims were randomly seized or attacked with no explanation, with some abducted in plain sight.

Field researchers had spoken to other Palestinians who endured similar violence, however many declined to give their testimony out of fear that they might face repurcussions from Israeli soldiers or authorities. 

The rights group added that none of the victims were suspected of an offense or charged, however, many were released in "a state that required medical attention".

Only two out of the 25 who testified in the report were arrested, then released shortly after.
