Tel Aviv, July 31 (RHC)-- In Israel, a group of far-right protesters, including at least one member of the Knesset, broke into two Israeli military bases in an effort to prevent Israeli military police from detaining nine soldiers suspected of torturing Palestinian prisoners.

The nine soldiers are reportedly being investigated for gang raping a Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman, a facility where prisoners from Gaza say they have been routinely beaten and tortured.  

The accusations were so consistent and brutal, that Israeli authorities were forced to investigate the crimes committed by their troops.

Some prisoners held at the site had limbs amputated due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing.

The protesters who stormed the military bases on Monday included far-right Knesset member Zvi Sukkot, who is a member of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s party.
