Starting in January 2007, Palestinian complaints about abuse from a soldier named Kobi started to arrive. Kobi is stationed in the Taysir checkpoint. He showed his penis and pissed near the legs of Palestinian women who had been taken from cars for a check. He beat and humiliated Palestinians going through the checkpoint and delayed them for no reason, for very long periods of time. After complaints, Kobi was removed from the checkpoint. After two days he returned. For a while another soldier accompanied him. It did not help. The abuse continues; Kobi especially abuses teachers. He beats them. Yesterday he took female teachers from a car, and demanded that they lift their dresses to see what's underneath. Now another soldier, Raviv, accompanies him with the beatings. All demands to remove him go unanswered.
