MDA probe: No one said Hebron attacker was free of bomb

Magen David Adom rescue services says that its own investigation into last week’s shooting of a disarmed Palestinian attacker by an IDF soldier in Hebron revealed that no security official confirmed that the attacker did not have an explosives vest before he was shot in the head.

The soldier is currently under Military Police investigation for murder.

Army Radio says that according to the organization, no one at the scene of the attack said that the man was no longer a threat.

The MDA findings contradict military sources who said that before the soldier shot him, the commanding officer had checked the man to make sure he did not have a bomb.
