An Israeli soldier is seen assaulting a Palestinian activist in the West Bank city of Hebron today.
Footage shared by the dovish Breaking the Silence organization shows the activist, Issa Amro, being choked by a soldier who pushes him to the ground, before kicking him.
Another serviceman is seen pulling the soldier who assaulted Amro away.
Amro, who was giving a tour of the West Bank city to journalists from The New Yorker, was not detained, according to Breaking the Silence.
There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces on the incident, and it is unclear what preceded the violence.
