Military Police to investigate two Gaza border shootings

Jerusalem, 21 August, 2018 (TPS) -- Military Advocate Maj. Gen. Sharon Afek has instructed Military Police to open an investigation into two incidents in which IDF troops shot Palestinians close to the Gaza border. The decision was made after internal investigations conducted in the units in which the incidents took places, as well as information obtained by the IDF, raised suspicion that troops may have opened fire in violation of IDF’s rules of engagement.
