An Israeli soldier has been detained after video emerged Thursday afternoon that shows the soldier shooting a Palestinian man, who was suspected in a knife attack moments earlier, in the head as he lies injured on the street in Hebron.

The video, provided by B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, shows a small crowd of Israeli soldiers and medics standing around a Palestinian man lying on the ground.

The Palestinian, Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, 21, was one of two suspects accused of stabbing an Israeli soldier at the scene moments earlier, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The second Palestinian suspect, Ramzi Qasrawi Tamimi, 21, was shot and killed at the scene.

“An Israeli soldier can be seen shooting the injured al-Sharif,” said B’Tselem in a statement released with the video.

“The incident happens in the plain view of many other soldiers and officers, who do not seem to take any notice. The soldiers and medical teams are seen in the video treating the lightly injured soldier while ignoring the two seriously injured youths.”

One of B’Tselem’s field researchers, Emad abu-Shamsiyah, recorded the video.

The video appears to show the Israeli soldier wounded in the attack being evacuated moments before the shooting.

Swift reaction in wake of video


Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said the shooting was against the values of the Israeli military.

“It is forbidden for a person, even when his blood is boiling, to lose his head and self-control. This incident will be dealt with in the most serious way. We have to know how to win and remain humane”

The IDF condemned the shooting, calling it a “grave breach of IDF values, conduct and standards of military operations. A military police investigation has commenced, and the soldier involved has been detained.” The commanders on the scene reported the incident before the video was released, according to the IDF.

Dr. Jawad al-Awad, Palestinian minister of health, called the shooting a “war crime” and urged the international community to protect Palestinians.

“This is very clear evidence that Israeli soldiers are committing field executions documented by cameras against Palestinian civilians,” said al-Awad.

“The terrible pictures that were shot in Hebron today shocked me, and they need to shock every person that has a conscience and everyone who has not lost their moral judgment in the terrible reality of the past months,” said Dov Khenin, an Arab-Israeli politician from the Joint Arab List.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also weighed in with the following statement: “What happened today in Hebron does not represent the values of the IDF. The IDF expects its soldiers to behave level-headedly and in accordance with the rules of engagement.”

The two Palestinian men were identified by the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

    Nothing unusual, this is normal behavior. You can tell by the reaction of everyone around the scene. Hardly a flinch from his comrades. They would have been more offended if he had farted.

      1. Didn’t it occur to you that it was the other way around, how otherwise you explain why the knife is not seen before the video pause/breaks?

        Today you must see the raw video material in order to be sure that it isn’t ‘edited’.

        Do you have the raw video of this case? It would be interesting to se.

        The disturbing raw video material showing the cold blood murder of the wounded Palestinian man is not ‘edited’.

          British MP: Israel Fabricated Knife Attack Stories, Conservative Party Influenced By ‘Jewish Money’
          Kaufman then went on to claim “more than half” of the stabbings that have recently happened in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the rest of Israel were fabricated, in comments that were recorded by blogger David Collier.

          Reading from an email from a friend who lives in East Jerusalem, Kaufman said:
          “More than half of the stabbing claims were definitely fabricated. The other half, some were true, the others there was no way to tell since they executed Palestianians and no one asked questions.”

          “Not only that, they got to the point of executing Arab-looking people and in the past few days they killed two Jewish Israelis and an Eritrean just because they looked Arab.Kaufman has been an MP since June 1970, making him the longest-serving MP currently in the House of Commons. He is Jewish, and has long been an outspoken critic of Israel and the Israeli government.

          1. I do not question the truth of the events, I only assume that one must question the messages that can not be verified, don’t you agree?

            One does not question the Israeli military’s ‘interrogation techniques’, many have learned from the Israelis.
            I’m talking about manipulated videos that both sides are using.
            That is the dark side of war-games, and I don’t like it att all.

            Since you live right in the heart of the conflict you follow the events constantly and evenly than I do have a reason to do so.

            We have our own problems in Europe, especially the last days as you know.

            My Luxembourg Ami is also quite worried … and there was a place that seemed a fairyland of peace and happiness to me. Even if a little expensive. More ‘small town’ than ‘big city’ Brussels … and decidedly so in it’s countryside.

            There’s the smartest of the lot, who put his hand up right away to get UN Aid to set up two huge refugee camps … Unlike the ‘Lebanese’ who said ‘we can take care of our own’ when there was ‘only’ a couple hundred thousand. (Hexxy didn’t want more UN folks looking…)(the one who stole the Christian Lady’s apartment is probably still in it while she is penniless and dying slowly – after her mother already did but can’t be buried)
            I’d believe him.

            ‘The Society’ … The Ladies didn’t have a ‘male’ there to YELL AND SCREAM even at the lawyer. And they could only show ‘respect’ to him, even if crying, because he is one.

    Another terrorist is dead. He failed in his mission to kill a Jew, but has now found paradise.

      shame on you, low life… I cannot wait till the likes of you are silenced and the occupation is forced to end. You shallow killing bastard.

    The killers family are protesting, saying that we need to know how her brother felt. I will tell you how he felt. They were standing around with guns as usual the chief guy speaks to the shooter and the shooter cocks his gun and fires into the head of the man laying on the ground.. It is murder. Israel does this every single day, but you got busted on video this time and the corporate owned media picked it up. Now the colonizers are threatening the man who made the video with death. He is afraid for his life and the life of his family. This is what Israel does and creates. I cannot wait for the day you are forced to end your occupation of death. BDS all the way.

      While more than half your country demands his release because he’s Jewish. Sad place, there too.
