Hours after a video was released showing an IDF soldier shooting at a Palestinian who was standing in front of him near the village of Faqqu'a east of Jenin, a security source told Ynet that the incident is being investigated and they are examining whether the soldier 'exceeded the rules of engagement.' Earlier, an IDF spokesperson said that 'initial investigation of commanders indicates that the friction began when several Palestinians gathered around a shepherd in the area. Regular combat soldiers who reinforced the sector during the holiday arrived at the location, and then fire was directed into the air and subsequently fire was directed at the lower body. The reason for the shooting is still under investigation.'
