An Israeli army reservist was suspended after an embarrassing video was released in which the man preached the Talmud to at least three men with their hands and eyes tied and lying on the ground, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The soldier who filmed the scene, which was widely shared on social media, was also suspended.
“The soldier’s behavior in the video is not aligned with the IDF’s values, nor with what is required of its soldiers. The soldiers involved have been suspended from service and will face disciplinary action,” the IDF said in a statement.
