Army says disabled Gaza man killed in clashes not intentionally shot
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe army says it did not intentionally shoot a disabled Palestinian man, Ibrahim Abu Thurayeh, who was killed in a riot along the Gaza security fence on Friday, but could not determine his cause of death.
“No live fire was aimed at Abu Thurayeh. It is impossible to determine whether Abu Thurayeh was injured as a result of riot dispersal means or what caused his death,” the army says in a statement.
Following reports of Abu Thurayeh’s death, the army launched an investigation, the results of which were presented to the head of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir, earlier today.
“The initial investigation indicates that no moral or professional failures were identified,” the army says.
