    Retired IDF General Israel Ziv told CNN he had seen the videos and was so disturbed by them that he reached out to IDF commanders in charge of the soldiers involved.

    “I was (told) that the brigade commander will punish the ones who did that once they stop fighting,” he told CNN.

    In its statement to CNN, the IDF said that “disciplinary measures will be taken regarding the soldiers involved.”

    In other words, they’re only interested in punishing the ones that get caught, and they’ll only process it well after it’s happened so they can just deliver a slap on the wrist.

      By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.

        Actually the Israelis are very strong supporters of collective punishment, given their stance on Palestinians I would have thought they would execute the families of entire platoons.
