HEBRON: Israeli soldier beats Palestinian near Hebron checkpoint
On 14 August, an Israeli soldier beat a Palestinian man near the Yatta Road checkpoint in Hebron, sending him to the hospital with a gash in his forehead, eyewitnesses said.
At around 7:00 p.m. an Israeli soldier grabbed a Palestinian man who was standing on the sidewalk beyond the checkpoint, said the man’s uncle, who witnessed the attack. The man’s brother Ayman Karaki, twenty-five, asked the soldier what he was doing, and the soldier pushed him. A third brother, Wisam, twenty-three, approached, and the soldier hit him in the forehead with the front of his gun.
When CPT arrived at about 7:45 p.m., Wisam had just returned from the hospital with stitches in his forehead. Ayman, who recently lost most of his fingers in a work accident, complained of pain in his hands from where the soldier had grabbed him.
