An IDF reservist who allegedly killed two Palestinians in the West Bank earlier has been suspended from duty amid a Military Police investigation into the incident.
His weapon was also confiscated.
Earlier, the IDF said troops were dispatched to the village of al-Mughayyir following reports of stones being hurled at a car with Israelis, one of whom was the reservist.
According to the military, the reservist got out of the vehicle and “opened fire on suspects in the village.”
The IDF said it was aware of the reports that two Palestinians were killed and others were wounded, and that the incident was under investigation, whose “findings will be forwarded to the authorities.”
