- OCCUPIED JERUSALEM - In a
special interview aired at Israeli television, Channel 2, and reported
by the Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, a solider who was discharged from
the Israeli army a week ago said that Israeli troops and special units
carried out "unimaginable" practices against Palestinians.
-
- He said that he was a witness to a happening where
Israeli
troops competed among themselves on who is capable of killing more
Palestinians,
saying that soldiers would brag afterwards about the number of Palestinians
they have killed.
-
- According to the unnamed solider, Israeli troops operated
on the basis of killing as many Palestinians as possible.
-
- He told Channel 2 that while serving with the army in
the West Bank town of Ramallah, one of his colleagues shot and killed a
10-year-old Palestinian boy without any reason. He also narrated occasions
where soldiers would slam the heads of detained Palestinians into concrete
walls after being arrested and handcuffed.
-
- The army practices have also extended, according to the
solider, to stealing Palestinian goods and furniture. He said that in one
occasion, following a traffic accidents between two Palestinian cars,
Israeli
soldiers in his unit ignored the wounded passengers and began dismantling
and stealing the record players of the two wrecked vehicles.
