Deputy State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan decided Thursday not to launch a criminal investigation against former Israel Defense Forces soldier Eden Aberjil, who in 2010 photographed herself standing next to tied up Palestinian detainees. Instead, he ordered an investigation against another two soldiers.
The first of the IDF soldiers to be investigated was pictured pointing a rifle at a bound and blindfolded detainee who stood beside him. The other soldier to be investigated filmed a video of himself dancing to music around a tied-up and blindfolded Palestinian woman. Both photographs and the video were posted on Facebook.
Nitzan said Aberjil's photographs, which stirred up a storm around the world, are shameful, yet they do not justify criminal proceedings, only disciplinary ones. "Since military law does not apply to Eden Aberjil, it is not possible to take disciplinary measures against her nor are criminal proceedings justified," said Nitzan. Aberjil was discharged from the IDF in 2009. more
