Monday, July 21st, 200821/7/08
The Israeli defence minister has condemned an incident, captured on video, in which an Israeli soldier shoots a Palestinian detainee. Ehud Barak vowed on Monday that the incident would be investigated, but Sarit Michaela, from rights group B’Tselem, told Al Jazeera that such incidents are usually ignored by the military. “Generally, there is very little accountability when it comes to Israeli security forces following up on cases we report - cases like the use of weapons, harassment charges, beating up civilians or killing children,” she said.
