The Israeli military police arrested a soldier after a complaint was filed against him by a Palestinian who was robbed by the soldier in the city of Jericho.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, the soldier is suspected of assaulting and robbing a Palestinian about two months ago. A complaint was filed at the time and was not dealt with until recently. The soldier was arrested a few days ago and referred for investigation.

According to preliminary investigations, during a military mission, the soldier, along with another, assaulted the Palestinian, before the arrested soldier stole his money and mobile phone.

Investigations indicate that the two soldiers stopped a Palestinian's vehicle with two women and a man inside. They searched him, stripped him of his clothes, cursed him and photographed him, before one of them seized his money and mobile phone.

The site indicated that the other soldier denied what was attributed to him, despite the documentation of a camera confirming this, and he will be interrogated later.
