VIDEO - A Border Guard policewoman was suspended after she was filmed hitting a Palestinian child at an IDF checkpoint along the separation fence by the Palestinian organization Palestine Monitor, which sent the footage to reporters. The brief film shows three Palestinians on a donkey cart approach the Israeli checkpoint. After an inaudible verbal exchange, the policewoman is seen hitting two of the Palestinians. Neither appeared to have been injured. During an initial investigation, the policewoman said she reacted violently after being taunted by the children. However, Border Guard officials stressed that officers were expected to remain calm and in control in every situation. The officials also noted that a 30% decrease has been registered in reports of violent clashes between Palestinians and police officers at checkpoints. Associated Press contributed to the report
