JERUSALEM: The integrity of the Israel Defence Forces has again been called into question following the release of more photographs showing Israeli soldiers posing alongside bound and gagged Palestinians.

The release of the pictures by the prominent Israeli advocacy group Breaking The Silence follows the publication on Monday of photographs uploaded to Facebook by a former Israeli soldier Eden Abergil that show her smiling next to blindfolded Palestinian prisoners.

Vanquished ... a photo from a Facebook page established by Breaking the Silence shows Israeli soldiers, their faces blurred, posing beside a captured Palestinian.

Sparking outrage both at home and abroad, Ms Abergil was condemned by IDF commanders for "her disgraceful behaviour". They described her photographs as "shameful".

"The behaviour displayed by this former soldier is not only disgraceful but in total opposition to the values and ethical code ... which is the foundation of the IDF," said an IDF spokesman Captain Barak Raz.
