Israeli troops accused of shooting at handcuffed Palestinian
[DAWN] A hospitalised Paleostinian teen said on Monday he was shot in his thighs by Israeli soldiers while he was handcuffed and blindfolded the latest in what a leading rights group portrayed as a series of unjustified shootings of Paleostinians by Israeli soldiers.The military said it was investigating last week’s incident, which it said took place as Paleostinian youths were throwing stones at Israeli soldiers. Osama Hajahjeh, 16, said he was trying to run from soldiers when he was shot Thursday. He said the incident began after a funeral for a school teacher in his village of Tekoa, who had been hit by a car driven by an Israeli while walking at a busy intersection. Hajahjeh said school was let out early for students to attend the funeral. After the burial, he said he was tackled by a soldier who jumped out of an olive grove and forced him to the ground. He said his hands were cuffed and his eyes covered with a cloth blindfold. Posted by: Fred 2019-04-24 |
