Report: IDF officer to be jailed for breaking civilian’s cameras in Hebron
An IDF officer will be jailed for 22 days after he confessed to breaking an Italian civilian’s cameras in Hebron, Haaretz reports, citing an agreement between the officer and prosecutors.
The officer, a lieutenant, was heading a force last February that broke up a demonstration in the city, during which rocks were hurled at soldiers. The civilian took part in the rally but did not throw rocks. He was detained and his two cameras were broken by the officer.
Haaretz notes that an indictment for such an incident is uncommon.
