In an official statement, Israeli forces accused Banat of obstructing soldiers from conducting a search for "wanted terrorists," thereby resulting in his detention.

The statement also said a preliminary investigation by the military indicated an "unreasonable amount of force" was used, that the investigation is continuing, and that "disciplinary action" will be taken by a military commander.
