The police reportedly came to the Sde Teiman camp near the desert city of Beersheba to arrest soldiers on charges of abuse, several Israeli media outlets reported. They were investigating allegations of a case of severe mistreatment of a Palestinian prisoner.
An Israeli army spokesman said they were examining the report about the confrontation.
The human rights organization Amnesty International recently accused Israel of mistreating and torturing Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip.
