IDF soldier gets ONE MONTH in prison for ‘disobeying’ order and killing teenage Palestinian protester
'An Israeli soldier was sentenced to one month in prison after fatally shooting an unarmed Palestinian protester without his commander’s permission during the unrest along the Israeli-Gazan border.
A military court ruled on Monday that an IDF service member broke the rules of engagement when he fired at a Palestinian protester, who attempted to climb the Gaza border fence during a protest along the border on July 13, 2018.
