This video shows Israeli occupation forces celebrating after a sniper shoots and injures a Palestinian protesting the theft of land by settlers in the central occupied West Bank on 27 November.
The video, published this month by the human rights group B’Tselem, was filmed by press photographer Hisham Abu Shaqrah as he stood behind an Israeli Border Police jeep near the community of Ein Samia.
It shows the sniper lying on the ground and then firing a 22-caliber bullet at the leg of a protester identified by B’Tselem as Y.B.
“I heard the officers cheering the sniper and congratulating him as if he’d done something great,” Abu Shaqrah told B’Tselem. “They looked happy and were laughing and patting him on the back.”
