Military Police have launched an investigation into the killing of a Palestinian detainee in the Gaza Strip, allegedly by a soldier who was supposed to be guarding him.
The terror suspect was arrested last night alive, and after being questioned by field interrogators of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, he was handed over to another soldier to be guarded.
The Israel Defense Forces says that at a certain point, the soldier guarding the suspect allegedly opened fire and killed him.
According to Kan news, the soldier claimed he felt in danger after the terror suspect allegedly attacked him, and therefore opened fire.
“Following the initial information that was provided, an investigation was opened by the Military Police regarding the circumstances of the shooting,” the IDF says.
