The video was seized by state investigators, according to Channel 10 News in Israel.
There are hints charges may be imminent in the arson case, but some of the suspects’ lawyers have accused the Shin Bet security agency of trying to extract confessions with torture.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Shin Bet’s methods and said the video was evidence of the need to curb violent Jewish zealots.
He said: “The shocking pictures that were broadcast … show the true face of a group that constitutes a danger to Israeli society and to the security of Israel.
“We are not prepared to accept people who deny the laws of the state and do not view themselves as subject to them.”
“The pictures underscore how important a strong Israel Security Agency [Shin Bet] is to the security of us all.”
