What is the Netzah Yehuda battalion?

I’m in the village of Jill Julia on the West Bank where in January 2022 a Palestinian American elderly man was detained by Israeli soldiers, taken up this street, and then blindfolded, gagged, handcuffed and left to die of a stress induced heart attack. Hours later, the Netsa Yehuda Battalion and Ultra Orthodox unit in the Israeli military has been implicated not just in that incident, but also a string of gross human rights violations across the West Bank, allegedly including unlawful killings. Sexual abuse and even electrocuting their victims. But Despite that, the Israeli government says that reports it could be cut off from US assistance are absurd given the kind of threats Israel is currently facing. However, we know that this unit is and has been the focus of intense scrutiny currently by the American government.
