Soldiers in the Netzach Yehuda battalion alleged that they were frequently abused by commanders during training, Channel 12 reported Monday, citing an internal Israel Defense Forces probe.
The soldiers made the complaints during a surprise inspection of the base last year, alleging that they were beaten, humiliated, and denied medical treatment.
Among the allegations made were that a soldier was kicked in the ribs for not being fast enough during a training run. Another soldier said that he had urinated in his pants due to extreme cold and was ordered to remain in the soiled clothes the entire day.
Several soldiers reported being denied medical treatment, while others said they were not given the time promised to attend to religious needs like davening.
