What Happened
Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir authorized five soldiers accused of sexually assaulting a Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman detention camp to return to reserve service. Charges against them were dropped by Israel's top military lawyer last month. The soldiers, from Force 100 unit, face an ongoing internal military inquiry. Some have already returned to active duty including combat roles. Rights groups condemned the decision.
