Video shows Palestinian civilian being beaten during violent protest in the West Bank as soldier yells, 'Get the cameras out of here.'
The IDF announced that an investigation would be launched as the result of a video spread on social media showing several Israeli soldiers beating a Palestinian man during a protest on Friday afternoon in Jalazun, north of Ramallah.
The video, filmed by Palestinian media in the presence of other journalists and photographers, shows an Israeli soldier audibly cursing a Palestinian civilian and swinging a rifle at him. Additional soldiers then join in the scuffle, bringing the Palestinian man to the ground at which point one of the Israelis can be heard yelling, "Get the cameras out of here."
After being pulled to the ground, one of the soldiers can be seen punching the man in the face. The IDF said Saturday that the incident took place during what officials had defined as a violent disturbance involving 50-70 Palestinians who threw rocks. Some of the participants were also masked according to the IDF.
Soldiers reportedly used riot control measures to disburse the crowd. Soldiers eventually carried out arrest procedures and fired live rounds in the air. According to an IDF spokesperson, the incident in the video is, "known to commanders and will be investigated in depth."
The spokesperson also said, "Those involved will be brought before the regiment commander tomorrow for clarification and questioning regarding the incident and if needed we will take significant steps against them. Preliminary investigation gives the appearances that their behavior is not consistent with that expected of IDF soldiers."
According to the Palestinians, the civilian in the video is Shadi al-Habsi who took part in the protest event out of anger that a family member had been wounded previously by tear gas fired by Israeli soldiers. Reports said that soldiers had also used his house to take cover from people who were throwing rocks which caused damage to his house.
The Palestinians said that after his arrest, al-Habsi was taken to the nearby Beit El settlement. The IDF said that one officer was lightly wounded by a rock during Friday's violent protest and he was taken to Hadassah Hospital for medical treatment.

Israeli soldiers deployed near the Sufa crossing, in the southern Gaza Strip, opened fire at and injured a Palestinian, Saturday, local sources told Ma'an News Agency.
An Israeli army spokesperson confirmed the report, telling Ma'an that a "Palestinian suspect approached the security fence" and Israeli forces opened fire at his lower extremities after firing warning shots into the air. One hit was confirmed, and Israeli forces took the man to a hospital in Israel for treatment, she added. The spokesperson did not have confirmation if the injured man would be detained after treatment or returned to the Gaza Strip.
Sufa was one of several crossings between Gaza and Israel to be sealed by Israeli authorities in 2007 and was permanently closed in 2009, however is sporadically opened for humanitarian needs, according to Israeli rights group Gisha: Legal Center for Freedom of Movement.
The border area where Israeli forces opened fire Saturday is part of an Israeli-enforced "buffer zone" along the Gaza-Israel border as well as on the western seaside border of the Strip.
The parameters of the buffer zone are regularly changed by Israeli authorities, and Israeli forces have repeatedly opened fire toward Palestinian civilians inside of the buffer zone since the signing of a ceasefire agreement that ended a more than 50-day war between Israel and Hamas last summer, according to documentation by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR).
Despite shorter distances set by Israeli authorities, PCHR reports that attacks against Palestinians have taken place up to approximately 1.5 kilometers inside the border fence. Constituting around 17 percent of the total territory of the Gaza Strip, the buffer zone effectively turns local farms into no-go zones. The buffer zone, which Palestinians are prohibited from entering, "is illegal under both Israeli and international law," according to PCHR.

Head of the Palestinian fishermen syndicate Nizar Ayyash warned against the Israeli Navy systematic and deliberate attacks and daily arrests carried out in Gazan fishing waters.
Speaking to the PIC, Ayyash said that Israeli arrest and confiscation policy against fishermen and their fishing boats have been unprecedented increased over the past two weeks.
Under the Oslo Accords, a peace agreement between the Palestinian Liberation Organization and Israel signed in 1993, fishermen in Gaza were legally allowed to venture out 20 nautical miles. However, since the start of the second `intifada’ in 2000, the Israeli navy imposed a three-mile fishing limit.
Following the Israeli summer aggression on Gaza, the ceasefire agreement stated to increase Gaza's fishing space to five miles.
The ever-tightening restrictions, frequent attacks by Israeli gunboats, and the blockade mainly aim at destroying the infrastructure of the fishing sector, Ayyash charged.
The fishing industry suffered US$10 million worth of damage during the Israeli offensive on Gaza.

Dozens of Palestinian citizens were injured on Friday by Israeli bullets and tear gas during a series of Israeli crackdowns on peaceful weekly marches against the apartheid wall and expansion of illegal settlements.
5 Palestinian citizens were injured by live fire during the Israeli suppression of a weekly march in Kafer Qadoum. Five Palestinians were injured by live fire, with 2 now being described as in a ‘serious condition’, after Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) came down hard on a peaceful weekly march taking place in the village of Kafer Qadoum. The march was demonstrating against the closure of a street in the village thirteen years ago to make way for the illegal settlement Qadoumim, which was built on the village’s land. |
According to Popular Resistance Coordinator Murad Shetewi, the IOF used live ammunition during their crackdown on the march, leading to the injury of Mohammed Majed (20) who sustained two bullets in his stomach and chest and whose condition was described as serious.
Ibrahim Mousa (35) was also severely injured by live bullets to his stomach when the IOF fired into his house. Mohammed Nidal (20) was shot in the leg, Iman Farouq (38) in the hand, and Ma’az Khader in the leg. This is in addition to dozens of village residents, including children, who suffered from exposure to tear gas.
IOF closed the village during the morning and set up a military checkpoint, declaring a closed military zone. They prevented media teams from entering the village, which led to the tranfer of those injured by private car to Rafidia hospital in Nablus for treatment.
Dozens suffered injuries incurred through exposure to tear gas
Dozens of citizens and international activists suffered injuries on Friday relating to the IOF’s use of tear gas in its crackdown on the peaceful weekly march against the apartheid wall and settlements.
Local sources confirmed that IOF soldiers fired rubber-coated metal bullets, sound bombs and tear gas from the old apartheid wall towards the participants. This lead to dozens injured, suffering from symptoms of suffocation, and large fires in the village’s olive groves.
Participants of the march told Palestinian media that they had marched in the streets of the village chanting national slogans demanding freedom for Palestinian prisoners and for Palestine itself.
In a statement, the Popular Committee of the Resistance against the Apartheid Wall and Settlements said that the action today was in solidarity with the prisoners’ hunger strike lead by Sheikh Khader Adnan. They demanded in the statement that local and international human rights institutions put pressure on the Israeli government to release the prisoners, and demanded that the Israeli government be held accountable for any deterioration in the health of the hunger strikers.
A Norwegian delegate visited the village of Bil’in and participated in the march in an expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The delegate heard before the march from Popular Resistance Press Coordinator Rateb Abu Rahma a detailed explanation of experiences of Bil’in residents related to their resistance against the wall and settlements during the last ten years.
