An Israeli soldier has been accused of abusing a Palestinian detainee at a military outpost in the occupied West Bank, including beating him, urinating on him and smearing faeces on his face.

According to Israel’s Channel 12 News, the abuse took place last month at the Jalameh military outpost, after Israeli soldiers arrested a Plestinian man at a nearby crossing.

Investigators suspect the soldier beat the Palestinian and extinguished a cigarette on his body, leaving him injured.

The alleged abuse did not end there. According to the investigation, the soldier urinated on the detainee before smearing his own faeces on the man's face and urging him to eat it.
