Israeli soldiers were caught on video raping a Palestinian captive last year, causing severe internal injuries.
No one disputes the rape happened. Since then:
- The Israeli military has launched a criminal probe into the *leaking* of the video.
- Defence minister Israel Katz has called the video's *leaking* a "blood libel"against the Israeli military.
- Israel's top military law officer has been forced on leave after suspicions that staff in her office *leaked* the video.
Haaretz reports that the rapist soldiers, identified from the video, "are currently not in custody or under any legal restrictions".
