(Israel Defense Forces) On Wednesday, May 4, around 300 Palestinians from Beit Likiya, southwest of Ramallah, attacked a six-man IDF unit guarding civilian contractors working on the security fence, hurling rocks at the soldiers. An initial inquiry, headed by the Commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, Brig.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, found that the IDF unit tried to disperse the riot using non-lethal means, but the Palestinians continued to throw rocks, wounding an IDF officer. When the Palestinians continued to attack, the commander fired in the air, and then at the legs of one of the rioters and at the rocks near the rioters, in order to avoid firing at the Palestinians. The IDF was informed that three Palestinians were wounded during the riot, two of whom died of their wounds. Head of Southern Command, Maj.-Gen. Yair Naveh, decided to suspend the unit commander from operational activity until the full inquiry into the incident has been completed. 2005-05-06 00:00:00Full Article
