Two Israeli reservists suspected of sexually abusing a Palestinian prisoner have failed a polygraph test about the allegations, Al Jazeera reports citing Israel’s Channel 12.
The soldiers, among five still detained over sexual abuse allegations at Israel’s Sde Teiman facility, denied committing or covering up an act of sexual assault during the polygraph examination, but the examiner deemed their responses deceptive, said the report.
The allegations against the reservists have divided Israeli society, with a group of far-right activists storming the facility they were held at last week demanding their release.
