Another Facebook Flap for Israeli Army

This time, it's over some pictures of a female soldier with blindfolded Palestinian prisoners in the background.

The former Israeli soldier who posted images of herself and blindfolded Palestinian prisoners on Facebook has said she has not done anything wrong.

Eden Aberjil, 26, said she was surprised at the backlash and had received death threats after her pictures were made public.

She said the pictures were taken to "remember the experience" in the army.

The pictures were not intended to be a political statement and the prisoners were well treated, she told army radio.

During the interview she said it had "never occurred to her" that there might be a problem with the pictures, and that she had been a "model soldier".
