Israeli army commander filmed hitting activist with rifle
The Israeli military condemned the incident as "severe" and said it would take "appropriate measures" after a thorough investigation. The incident happened on Saturday, when a group of pro-Palestinian activists cycled on a road through the Jordan Valley in the West Bank to protest Israeli security restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the area. The commander, a lieutenant-colonel, arrived at the scene after receiving a report that activists were blocking the road. When one of the activists came near him, the commander lifted his F-16 rifle and hit him with it in face, the footage shows. The Danish national was take to hospital needing stitches to his lip, one activist said.
