Video Shows Israeli Soldiers Allowing Settlers to Shoot Palestinians 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Israel and the Occupied Territories, video has emerged of Israeli
settlers shooting at Palestinians in the West Bank under the watch of
Israeli soldiers. The video shows the armed settlers entering a
Palestinian town from their nearby settlement. Palestinian youths are
seen throwing rocks as the settlers approach from the hills. Shortly
after an Israeli soldier enters the frame, the settlers shoot a
Palestinian youth. At least two other soldiers were present on the scene
and none intervened to stop the settler shootings. The video was
released by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem. The Israeli
military says it is investigating the incident.
