Israeli officer will not be prosecuted for extrajudicial killing

in MIDLE EAST by

The out-of-service Israeli soldier who shot “against the regulations” killing the 15-year-old Palestinian Mahmoud Badran in an allegedly mistaken identity case in June 2016 will be fired by the army for “failures in conduct”, but will not be prosecuted. The officer will not be accused of culpable homicide, since it is believed that the Palestinian group he shot was the assailant fleeing a terrorist incident. The news further provoked anger in a controversy that had already caused many unrest, primarily because of the excessive force used by the Israeli army against the Palestinians and also because of the impunity for an extrajudicial kill that occurred when the troops Israeli women opened fire on an unarmed car near the village of Beit Sira, in the West Bank, on which seven teenage friends were traveling, returning home from an evening in a water park. The investigation found “serious failures” in the conduct of the soldiers on the scene and that the officer in question had “contravened the rules of engagement”.
