The IDF suspended an officer Tuesday after he
was filmed using live fire against stone-throwing Palestinian protesters
two weeks ago. The protesters were partaking in a weekly protest
against Israeli settlements next to the village of Nabi Saleh in the
West Bank.
A video, uploaded by activist Bilal Tamimi of
the Palestinian Popular Struggle Coordination Committee, shows an Israel
Defense Forces soldier first respond to Palestinian stone-throwers by
throwing rocks, and then firing what appears to be live ammunition.
The IDF said it is looking into the incident.
“Upon receipt of the video, we started
researching the incident and preliminary examination suggests that use
of live ammunition,” the army said in a statement, according to Ynet
news. The army added that the officer would be suspended until the
investigation ends.
Senior IDF officials stressed that the use of live fire represents a violation of army orders.
In the video clip, Palestinian protesters can
be seen throwing stones at Israeli soldiers standing on a nearby hill.
One soldier throws stones in their direction, while the soldier in
question responds by shooting what is believed to be a stun grenade or
tear gas.
Two of the protesters, masked-Palestinian men,
continue to throw stones in the soldiers’ direction. The soldier in
question then approaches them, throws stones at them, and retreats up
the hill. He then comes toward the two protesters and throws stones at
them again — and then comes even closer, and shoots what appears to be
two to three shots of live fire at them.
ANOTHER SOLDIER SUSPENDED FOR DEFENDING HIS COUNTRY AND HIMSELF. ARE THE LIVES OF CITIZENS NOT IMPORTANT TO THE GOVERNMENT.
THE FAKE PALESTINIANS AND PEACE ACTIVISTS ARE ALLOWED TO THROW ROCKS WITHOUT THE ARMY RETALIATING. THEY WERE THROWING ROCKS AT SOLDIERS, THESE ROCKS CAN KILL, ISN'T A SOLDIER SUPPOSED TO SHOOT IF HIS OWN LIFE IS IN DANGER.
A SOLDIER HAS ALL THE RIGHTS
TO SHOOT AND TO DEFEND HIMSELF AND HIS PEOPLE AGAINST THE ENEMY.
LET IT
CALL WITH THEIR NAME: THEY'RE NOT PACIFISTS THEY'RE JUST THE ENEMY!
These fake pacifist, these
unbereable idiots throw stones at the soldiers, stones can kill. M16 can
kill. They have stones, we have guns...haven't learned
yet? Their problem. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND OURSELVES!!! SUPPORT OUR
SOLDIER AND OUR OFFICIERS!
