Video Shows Israeli Soldier Tossing Stun Grenade into West Bank Mosque During Call to Prayers

An Israeli soldier caught on video tossing a stun grenade into a West Bank mosque during a daily call to prayers has been suspended by the Israel Defense Forces, as footage shared by a Hamas-affiliated Palestinian news outlet circulated online.

The suspension of the reservist over the incident, which took place approximately two weeks ago, was confirmed by the IDF to Israeli outlet Ynetnews on Saturday.

"This is a serious incident that goes against the values of the IDF," a statement issued to the outlet read. "Upon learning of the incident, the soldier was suspended from his post. He will be thoroughly investigated and [disciplined] accordingly."

NOT "be thoroughly investigated and [disciplined] accordingly."" by his own gov't for his War Crimes.

Yes, yes, Hamas absolutley committed War Crimes earlier (but perhaps not first), we know that.
