IDF suspends 2 infantry commanders over shooting death of Palestinian
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF suspends a deputy company commander and a squad commander from the Givati infantry brigade over the shooting death of a Palestinian motorist near the northern West Bank settlement of Halamish last month.
The soldiers opened fire on a “suspicious” vehicle they said they believed was attempting a ramming attack against fellow soldiers.
And army investigation concluded that the driver, Mohammed Abdallah Musa, was listening to music as he drove and did not notice a soldier on the side of the road signaling for him to stop.
Musa’s sister was shot in the shoulder in the incident and was moderately hurt.
The commanders’ suspension follows a preliminary IDF inquiry into the incident. A full Military Police investigation is still underway.
