Israeli Officer Disciplined for Death of Palestinian Youth
(IDF Spokesperson) - According to an inquiry presented to the IDF Chief of Staff, a Palestinian boy was wounded and later died of his wounds while standing on the balcony of his home during stone throwing and disturbances in the Samarian village of Nazlat Zid on October 4, 2002. The deputy battalion commander on the scene has been dismissed from his post and will not be reinstated to a command post for at least three years - a decision that emphasizes the severity with which the IDF views the harming, even unintentionally, of innocent civilians during operational activity.
