’Israeli’ Colonel Acquitted after Shooting Palestinian Dead!

Local Editor

An "Israeli" colonel has been cleared of any criminal charges despite shooting to death a Palestinian teen who allegedly stoned his jeep in the West Bank last year, the occupation's military said Monday.

A rights group that distributed a video showing the shooting denounced the decision, which comes amid controversy over a separate killing of a Palestinian by an "Israeli" occupation soldier last month.

In further details, Colonel "Israel" Shomer had been under investigation for the July 3 shooting near Qalandia checkpoint, south of Ramallah that killed the 17 year old Mohammad Kasba.

Meanwhile, the decision came with tensions high over the actions of another Zionist soldier, who was caught on video shooting another Palestinian in the head on March 24 as he lay on the ground wounded and posing no apparent danger.

However, the soldier's lawyers claimed he thought the Palestinian could have been carrying explosives, though he had reportedly already been checked for a suicide belt.

The soldier, whose bullet to the head killed the Palestinian, has been arrested and could face charges of manslaughter.

Top military brass have strongly condemned his actions, though far-right protesters and politicians have called for his release.
