And see following videos and articles:


Israeli video pulls back curtain on IDF treatment of Palestinian kids - Shlomi Eldar - Al-Monitor 31.08.15

Images and video of the incident have flooded social media, triggering condemnation of the soldier’s actions and insistence on the ultimate futility of Israel’s military presence in the West Bank.
