An Israeli soldier was arrested on
Thursday after a rights group published clear video images of him
shooting a wounded, immobilized Palestinian suspect in the head
following a knife attack in the West Bank city of Hebron earlier in
the day.
The graphic, distressing video was
posted online by B’Tselem, an Israeli group that provides cameras
to Palestinians to help them document human rights abuses in the West
Bank territory that has been under military rule since Israel first
occupied it in 1967.
As the Israeli newspaper Haaretz
reports, the video was recorded just after another soldier was
stabbed and moderately wounded at a checkpoint in the Tel Rumeida
area of Hebron’s Old City, and two Palestinian suspects were
killed, including the one who was shot in the video.
