An Israeli military video camera recently fell in the hands of Palestinian protesters, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah; its videos shot by a soldier, showed how he marks the protesters, and gives the order to shoot them.
Palestinian activists said the camera accidentally fell from a soldier while the army was chasing Palestinian protesters, and the videos clearly shows how he was “marking” each protester, and giving the sharpshooters the order to shoot. The contents clearly show how, unlike military claims of only firing at protesters to deflect harm to the soldiers, the incidents when the open |
fire orders were given, showed the soldiers faced no threats to their lives and safety.
The "shooter" behind the camera chooses his targets, focuses his lens, and gives the orders to shoot the protesters he marked.
Every time the soldiers managed to shoot their "marked target," their cheers could be heard off camera.
The videos were shot in Silwad, al-Jalazoun, Qalandia, also near Ofer and Bet El.

Israeli police forces, on Tuesday evening, raided the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of 'Eesawiyya, firing tear gas at Palestinians and their homes, a local monitor said.
Muhammad Abu al-Hummus, a member of a local committee in 'Eesawiyya, said that dozens of Palestinians suffered from severe tear gas inhalation during the raid, adding that Israeli forces also fired rubber-coated steel bullets at youth.
