Soldier sentenced to 28 days

Paratrooper court marshaled for hitting, injuring Palestinian detainee

An elite paratrooper commando was sentenced to 28 days in jail after hitting a Palestinian detainee and causing him injuries that required medical attention.

 

An IDF official said the military views this incident very seriously and took immediate action to prevent similar incidents from happening.

 

The incident occurred about two weeks ago, when commandoes patrolled the West Bank city of Nablus, in search of Palestinians on Israel's most wanted list.

 

Hit detainee after arrest

 

It was during this operation that Tair Mantsur, a top Hamas wanted activist was arrested.

 

After he was picked up, Mantsur was transferred from one car to another; it was then that one of the commandoes hit Mantsur in his face and injured him.

 

 

The soldiers' comrades reported the incident to the unit's commander, and the soldier was court marshaled and sentenced to 28 days in jail.
