Israel soldier arrested for shooting dead injured terrorist
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. March 25, 2016, 9:29 AM (IDT)
An IDF soldier was filmed by the left-wing Israeli B’tzelem group shooting a Palestinian who was lying injured on the ground after he stabbed another soldier at a checkpoint. The soldier was arrested and suspended pending a criminal investigation. His family claimed in his defense that the terrorist was still moving and could have concealed a bomb belt ready to detonate under the heavy coat he was wearing. Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon denounced the soldier’s action as a breach of IDF values. B’tzelem flashed the photo instantly to the world media, international bodies and associated foreign NGOs.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
