Lawyer for Hebron soldier: Witnesses support his version of events

The lawyer for the soldier who shot dead a disarmed Palestinian in Hebron last week says there are witnesses who support his client’s claim that he acted out of fear for the lives of those around him.

Eyal Beserglick says the unnamed soldier was at the time of the shooting standing close to medical personnel whose own investigation shows there was no check to see if the Palestinian was free of explosive devices, Channel 10 reports.
