The Times of Israel reports:
Israeli soldiers in Hebron were filmed Tuesday shouting and shoving a Palestinian man in front of his young child, whom they claimed had been throwing rocks at security forces nearby.
The video, which caused outrage among Palestinian social media users, shows two soldiers pushing the father and cocking a gun in his face. It is unknown who filmed the incident.
The clip begins with an angry exchange, with a soldier shouting that the boy had been throwing rocks. The father retorts: “Throwing rocks?! He’s five years old.”
The soldier responds: “Yes, throwing rocks, all your friends are throwing rocks. I don’t care [how old he is].
Another soldier joins and both shove the man, who says “don’t raise your hands on me.”
