Leak probe is no substitute for holding the abuse perpetrators accountable

A new piece on the Yatedim leak says that investigating the release of the footage from the Sde Teiman detention facility should not replace criminal accountability for the soldiers accused of abuse. The article argues that the core issue remains the alleged mistreatment itself, not only how the video surfaced.

The discussion comes amid renewed attention to the case involving conduct at the Sde Teiman base. The publication says the leak inquiry may be necessary, but it does not address the underlying allegations of abuse or the need to bring those responsible to justice.

The article does not cite new official findings or announce any immediate legal step. Its central point is that the leak investigation and the criminal process against the alleged abusers are separate matters, and the latter still needs to be pursued.
