PA to UN: Probe killing of disarmed Palestinian by IDF soldier

The Palestinian Authority is asking the UN to investigate the killing of a disarmed Palestinian attacker by an IDF soldier last week in Hebron, Army Radio reports.

The soldier is currently under Military Police investigation for murder, for shooting the man in the head after he was wounded by gunfire from IDF troops as he stabbed and injured a soldier.

Saeb Erekat, a senior Palestinian official, tells the UN that Israel has “failed” in the past to reach justice through its investigations, and claims it has previously rewarded unlawful behavior instead of instead of punishing it.
