Yesh Din: Alleged Investigation -- The Failure of Investigations Into Offenses Committed by IDF Soldiers Against Palestinians

A new Yesh Din report titled "Alleged Investigation: The Failure of Investigations Into Offenses Committed by IDF Soldiers Against Palestinians", reveals for the first time the systematic failures preventing the success of MPCID (Military Police Criminal Investigations Division) investigations of offenses committed by Israeli soldiers against Palestinians. The result of these failures is that 96.5% of complaints are closed without indictments being filed.

This report is based on 192 complaints monitored by the organization and on the analysis of the contents of 67 MPCID investigation files. The complaints and investigation files cover a wide spectrum of serious offenses against Palestinian civilians and their property including, acts of killing and injury, looting, theft and other property damage, violence, abuse of passers-by and detainees, and more.
