In yet another scandalous incident for the IDF, leaks from an investigation
into claims that commando soldiers acted immorally during a recent operation
in the West Bank revealed that soldiers admitted to having used a
Palestinian as a human shield.
The investigation was launched following the death of Mahmud Abed Al-Rahman
Kmeil, 25, a senior Islamic Jihad fugitive who was killed during a combined
operation conducted by the Shin Bet and a naval commando unit in Raba'a near
Jenin on Friday morning. According to Palestinian witnesses, Kmeil was
already wounded and disarmed when he was fatally shot by soldiers.
Reserve soldiers of the commando unit confirmed that they coerced
Palestinians in Jenin to be human shields in spite of a High Court's ruling
against this procedure, Israel Radio reported Wednesday morning.
The soldiers said that they were not briefed on the use of Palestinian
citizens as human shields, a procedure that has been outlawed by the High
Court of Justice.
According to the soldiers, they used neighbors of suspected fugitives to
check suspicious areas as part of existing protocol designed to protect
soldiers.
All operations conducted by naval commandos in the West Bank have been
suspended while the army investigates the circumstances of the killing of
Kmeil.
A number of inconsistencies were raised in the initial report submitted by
the soldiers involved in the operation, while a B'Tselem report on Monday
claimed soldiers shot and killed Kmeil after he had been disarmed and
wounded and no longer constituted a threat.
Under the heading "Suspected Execution," B'Tselem based its claims on two
Palestinian witnesses who said Kmeil was lying unarmed and wounded on the
ground when he was shot and killed by IDF troops. The human rights group
demanded that the army launch an investigation and also claimed that despite
a commitment the IDF made to the High Court of Justice, soldiers forced
civilians to carry out dangerous tasks during Friday's Jenin operation.
On Monday night, a statement issued by the IDF Spokesman said that an
initial probe carried out by OC Central Command Maj.-Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky
and OC Naval Command Maj.-Gen. David Ben Bashet revealed a number of
foul-ups regarding the troops' actions during the operation. After
consulting Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon, it was decided to set up a
special investigative team that is to be headed by an officer outside the
Central Command.
The officer appointed to lead the inquiry is Brig.-Gen. Yair Golan, the
Galilee Regiment commander. Meanwhile Ben-Bashet has suspended all
operations conducted by naval commandos in the West Bank until the findings
of the investigation are submitted in several days time.
A senior IDF officer told The Jerusalem Post that the initial army probe
raised inconsistencies related to whether the soldiers closed off the area
and surrounded the house properly and if the soldiers adhered to the open
fire regulations. The officer also confirmed allegations based on testimony
submitted by two Palestinians who claimed that soldiers shot and killed
Kmeil after he was already wounded.
"We are not talking about an incident similar to that of the Palestinian
girl in Rafah. The troops shot Kmeil from a distance of twenty to thirty
meters. There are allegations that the soldiers 'verified the kill' but not
from close range," the officer said.
On Friday, the army said troops surrounded Kmeil's house and spotted him
armed with a gun attempting to flee and shot him. However, two Palestinian
witnesses, Tayil Mohamed al Bazur,45, and Suleiman Qasrawi told a B'Tselem
field officer that the soldiers had taken Kmeil's gun from him before
killing him. They also claimed that they were forced to carry Kmeil's body
and search it after being threatened by soldiers. Al Bazur said he spoke
with Kmeil when he was lying wounded on the ground and he asked for medical
assistance. Minutes later he was shot by soldiers.
"The soldiers told Suleiman to leave and he did," said al Bazur adding "I
walked away with the soldiers aiming their guns at me. I walked for twenty
to thirty meters and then heard four or five gunshots...I saw Mahmud's body
move, I went over to Mahmud and saw he was dead, he had been hit in the
head," he said.
Then, continued al Bazur, one of the soldiers asked him to search for
Mahmud's wallet, and when he didn't find it he was ordered to search on the
ground nearby. When he found the wallet, he gave it to the soldiers who
counted the money and gave it to him telling him to give the money to
Mahmud's wife.
According to Qasrawi, soldiers asked the two to carry Kmeil when he was
wounded.
"We tried to pick him up, but we were so frightened that we couldn't lift
him. As we tried, I noticed that he had a pistol on his waist, inside his
pants. I took the pistol and raised it so that the soldiers could see it,
and I shouted out that he had a pistol. One of the soldiers asked me to
bring the pistol to him. I took it and walked toward the soldiers who were
under my house. While I was walking, the soldier asked me to throw the
pistol down twice. Each time that I threw it down, he asked me to pick it up
and keep walking. When I was about five meters from the soldiers, one of the
soldiers asked me to throw down the pistol. When I threw down the pistol, I
told the soldier that we couldn't drag the man."
Qasrawi also said the soldiers asked him to get Mahmud's identity card, and
when he approached him, Mahmud, who had suffered a gunshot wound to the
neck, told him he didn't have it on him. Soldiers asked Qasrawi to take out
the items in Mahmud's pockets, which were a cellular phone and cigarettes.
The soldiers forced the two to carry Mahmud again and eventually told them
to place Mahmud on the ground. Then soldiers told the two to leave, and
shortly afterward Qasrawi said he heard five or six gunshots.
MK Ran Cohen (Yahad) said Monday night the killing was the second such
incident recently and has apparently become a phenomenon. He warned that it
would turn into a "plague" if it is not stopped. He appealed to Defense
Minister Shaul Mofaz to support a bill he has drafted that would make such
killings an offense punishable by 10 years imprisonment.
MK Eitan Cabel (Labor) said the incident was "most grave" and apparently is
not an isolated one.
Kmeil had recruited and dispatched a suicide bomber who was caught by
troops, and was responsible for perpetrating bomb and shooting attacks
against soldiers and civilians in the Jenin area. In addition, Kmeil was the
main channel through which Islamic Jihad operatives abroad transferred
instructions to cells operating in the West Bank.
