Israeli soldier shoots arrested Palestinian

An Israeli soldier is seen shooting an arrested and bound Palestinian in the leg with a plastic bullet, in a video released by an Israeli human rights group on Sunday.

B'Tselem's footage shows the Palestinian demonstrator — identified as Ashraf Abu Rahman, 27 — with handcuffs and a blindfold, as a lieutenant colonel holds him by the arm.

Abu Rahman was lightly wounded in the incident which took place on July 7 in Nilin, a West Bank village where regular protests are held against Israel's separation barrier by stone-throwing demonstrators, the group said.
The army, which says five border guards, three soldiers and two laborers working on the wall were injured during protests in June, announced the launch of an inquiry after the video was shown on Palestinian television.

Israel says the barrier is needed to stop potential attackers from infiltrating Israel and Jewish West Bank settlements, but Palestinians say it is a land grab aimed at undermining the viability of their promised state.

The International Court of Justice in 2004 issued a non-binding resolution calling for parts of the barrier inside the West Bank to be torn down and for a halt to construction there.

Israel has ignored the ruling. (AFP)

@thairtheiabat Oh shut up. What Israel does is its own business. Too bad no other country can't step in and show how they could resolve or improve this situation. You think your country could do something about this, then do it already. Less talk, more show.

@knutgordon No Prove of That IDF soldierwas put into Jail

[knutgordon]

@shadowofears

Yes it is. The trigger happy IDF solder was put in jail for violating IDF standards and ROE, and leaving a blue mark on a toe in the process. I'm waiting for the day BBC prints out a front page story of palestinian gunmen being persecuted by palestinian autoritys for carrying out terror attacks. Not a chance. The 2 sides have way different values, rules and juridical systems. the 2 sides have different values, rules, and judicial systems.

No Pallywood for a change. The guy was hit by a near miss rubber bullet causing a small blue mark on the outer side of his big toe - apparently in an failed attempt to scare him by shooting close to his feet. Stupid incident done by a stupid soldier totally blown out of proportion, ending up on the BBC.s frontpage. These incidents always have a context (not necessarily a justifying one). One should understand that this the heavily wounded guy was a violent stone throwing bad mouthed asshole.
