Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Moshe Ya'alon ordered Military Police on Friday to investigate claims that soldiers abused the bodies of dead Palestinians and took photographs with them.




Ya'alon first responded publicly to the claims, which came to light in an investigation conducted by the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth, on Friday.

Ya'alon said he condemns such behavior and added that the IDF's ethical strength is no less important than its military strength.

The newspaper's investigation of the phenomenon includes numerous accounts of IDF soldiers who photographed the bodies of Palestinians or who were themselves photographed with bodies.

One account, provided by a soldier serving in the Nahal Haharedi battalion, told of the abuse of the remains of a suicide bomber who blew himself up at the unit's Hamra checkpoint in the Jordan Valley.

Soldiers from the unit positioned the bomber's head on a concrete barrier and placed a cigarette in his mouth before taking photographs.

Labor MK Ophir Pines-Paz submitted an urgent motion to the Knesset concerning the abuse of dead bodies by IDF soldiers.

According to Pines-Paz, the soldiers' actions "testify to a moral imperviousness and there must be action taken to prevent this from recurring."
