Masked guards pull a blindfolded prisoner to his feet from a face-down position on the floor.

He is marched into a corner, where Israeli soldiers have formed a barrier with riot shields, blocking the man from the view of a nearby security camera. He is surrounded and, as military guard dogs bark, there is movement from behind the shields.

The leaked footage does not make events entirely clear, but the Palestinian man — a suspected terrorist — was later admitted to hospital with severe rib and rectal injuries.

The footage of abuse at the Sde Teiman detention facility was first aired last year by Israel’s Channel 12 and prompted an investigation.

However, before the inquiry could take its course, the video prompted a backlash from politicians on the Right, including those close to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, who dismissed accusations against the guards as a “blood libel”.

After rumbling on for more than a year, the scandal reignited last week when Maj Gen Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, the IDF’s chief legal officer, admitted leaking the video.

She resigned from her post on Friday after her admission. On Monday authorities said she had been arrested following a several-hour disappearance on Sunday, prompting speculation about a possible suicide attempt.
