West Bank – A 33-year-old Palestinian man was killed early on Thursday by Israeli soldiers who are seen on a security camera video kicking and beating him with their rifles after he comes charging down an alley, carrying a long object on his shoulder.

The Israeli military confirmed that the video showed parts of a pre-dawn arrest raid in the West Bank town of Jericho.
An army statement initially said Palestinians attacked troops during the arrest raid and that an armed man tried to grab a soldier’s gun. In a later statement, it said the man ran toward soldiers with an iron rod and tried to attack the soldiers.
The statement said troops responded “by opening fire, confronted the terrorist at close proximity and managed to block him.”
It added that a knife was found on the man.
The army said he was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The grainy video shows an alley lined by storefronts.
A man is seen throwing stones, in the direction of soldiers who are in one of the stores in the alley.
Seconds later, a man is seen charging down the alley carrying a long object with three legs, like a tripod, on his shoulder. He is heading in the direction of the store where the soldiers are. Once he is level with the store, one of the soldiers jumps out, aiming his rifle at him.
The man drops to the ground. The soldier kicks him and beats him with his rifle. Several other soldiers join in, also kicking and beating him, before pulling him into the store.
At a later point, four soldiers are seen carrying him across the alley, holding him by his hands and feet.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said Israel later informed the family of Yassin al-Saradih of his death.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA quoted a relative, Ismail al-Masri, as saying soldiers beat al-Saradih “as soon as he approached his uncle’s house to check why the army was raiding it.”
The military said the incident is under investigation.
Another million of these animals being pronounced dead would be welcome news and cause for great celebration. No, I’m not cruel. I just see that it terribly difficult to find a Palestinian that is not thirsting for Jewish blood. There seems to be no question whether they will make an attempt, only when. As long as this situation exists, there is no such thing as a good one, only when they are dead. There can never be true peace with these savages.
Lets assume for a second that the soliders did treat this aniaml cruelly. But who started? Yes soldiers are trained to be on their best behavior but they are humans too. Its clear that this beast came at them with a vengeance out to kill them. Human tendency is that when someone tries to kill , you hit back strong. This is a ntraul gut reaction. And frankly this lowest animal does not deserve anything human.
The pals have a gift to have the story always make their fellow look innocent. One glance at the video and this story falls apart.
yamsar wants the soldiers in jail.
More fake news by the left wing media
I have lived in Israel for more than 40 years and know Arabs and their mentality. The first thought that ALWAYS comes to mind is that the Arabs are lying since they always lie. They do not care about the truth and it is part of their religion.
Muhammad used deceit to fool his enemies. He made pacts with them and then when it was convenient to him, he turned around and attacked and killed them.
The Muslim world has NO respect for truth. They respect a person who can fool you by lying!
