A field researcher for Israeli human rights group B Tselem has been interrogated and warned by the Shin Bet internal security service that he is making trouble and threatening the army . According to
Haaretz, Nasser Nawaj ah was detained at a military checkpoint between Sussya and Yatta last week while on his way to visit his wife s grandfather, who was hospitalised.
After an hour-long detention, he was told to speak with the Shin Bet agent, who told him that he could decide between being arrested immediately to be interrogated the next day, or to give his word and come in himself.
A statement from the military spokesperson’s unit said the preliminary inquiry found the soldiers “faced mortal threats while carrying out enforcement activities in the area of the village of At-Tuwani.”
It said the commanding officer had fired warning shots in the air, and as the shots were fired, “two Palestinians attacked the commander - one grabbing him forcibly and the other seizing his weapon. As a result, a stray round struck another Palestinian who was part of the riot.”
The army said that a separate Military Police investigation was also underway.
Palestinians and human rights groups have criticized the Israeli military for “whitewashing” cases of violence committed by its troops in the West Bank and not holding soldiers accountable.
