The BBC has analysed 45 photos and videos, which include those of detainees draped in Israeli flags.

International law says detainees must not be exposed to unnecessary humiliation or public curiosity, yet human rights experts say the posting of detention footage does just that.

Despite the BBC’s previous reporting on Israeli soldiers’ social media misconduct, and the military’s subsequent promise to act on our findings, a former Israeli soldier, Ori Givati, says he is far from shocked to hear that this activity is continuing.

During our earlier investigation, we noticed - and began looking into - a similar pattern of behaviour in the West Bank, which has experienced a spike in violence over the same period.

    Oh, I recognize their legal human rights. I just don’t morally consider them human when they act…inhuman.

    Have you talked with your Palestinian friends too and asked them how they feel? Or have they been offline lately, Harold?
