An Israeli soldier, that has since been discharged from the army, posted pictures to Facebook of her posing in front of detained and blindfolded Palestinians. I can't write extensively about this or cleverly sync all the sources that have covered this today, because frankly, this story makes me sick. It's so Abu Ghraib-esque. Being present myself as Palestinian friends have been detained in a manner similar to this, brings it a little too close to home.
I'd recommend reading Dimi's Notes, one of the first to cover this. He provides good analysis, and gets the photo credit. Also, take a look an Mondoweiss, which has the best one liner about what the photos show, "an army that has forgotten the other's humanity--and has lost its own humanity in the process."
