The Israeli army has approved the return to reserve duty of soldiers suspected of torturing and raping a Palestinian detainee.
Army chief Eyal Zamir authorised the move for members of Unit 100, Haaretz reported on Thursday.
Five soldiers from the unit, tasked with guarding prisoners, were implicated in the abuse of a Palestinian detainee at the notorious Sde Teiman detention centre in 2024.
Last month, the charges against the soldiers were dropped. No internal military investigation into the incident has been carried out.
The abuse was captured on surveillance cameras and leaked to Israeli media in August 2024, a month after a far-right mob rioted over the questioning of the soldiers by military police.
