Dozens of Israeli soldiers have abandoned their weapons and walked out of the Sde Teiman military base (a facility that has drawn widespread international criticism for the alleged abuse of Palestinian detainees) in an act of open mutiny. The walkout was triggered by a dispute with a senior commander reportedly attempting to restore discipline at the base. The incident draws renewed attention to Sde Teiman, where soldiers have long faced accusations of serious violations of international law, including the torture of Palestinian prisoners.
