Israeli policeman throws grenade into car with Palestinians inside

Content warning: This article contains videos with graphic footage of Israeli violence

Shocking footage has emerged featuring an ‘Israeli’ border police officer throwing a stun grenade into a car with at least three Palestinians inside.

The video, recorded in East Jerusalem, shows a uniformed apartheid enforcer looming over the driver beside his open door. The brutish goon then suddenly chucks a grenade into the vehicle and presses against the door to prevent the driver escaping.

Two passengers manage to get out on the opposite side. They cower behind the car, fearful that the police officer will gun them down. The extent of the driver’s injuries are unclear, though he can be seen still moving after the grenade explodes.

Stun grenades are intended to disorient rather than kill, but can still cause serious injuries if they detonate directly beside someone.

Like most use of force by ‘Israeli’ authorities, the violence deployed was clearly entirely needless. It appears the aggression was simply a spiteful act of revenge for the driver refusing to show immediate compliance with the goon’s illegitimate authority.

‘Israeli’ media outlet Haaretz reported that prior to throwing the grenade, the thug was shouting:

Shut your mouth, who are you talking to like that?

Israeli attack one of many violent incidents on 5 July

‘Border police’ must be a tricky job in so-called ‘Israel’, given the pseudo-state is uniquely incapable of defining the demarcation lines for its own territory. Even ‘Israeli’ rights groups acknowledge this.

Haaretz stated:

Police said the officer acted “not in accordance with procedure” and that the Justice Ministry’s department for the investigation of police officers is handling the case.

Needless to say, the chances of punishment are virtually non-existent. ‘Israeli’ Occupation Forces (IOF) have carried out a livestreamed genocide in which their crimes have been recorded time and again. Yet authorities in the settler-colony have barely punished anyone.

The police officer’s brutal attack took place in the Qalandiya refugee camp, in the northern area of East Jerusalem. On the same day, Haaretz reported that IOF murderers also gunned down Walid Nidal Walid Abu Sneineh, 16, in the area. The soldiers also wounded two other teenagers.

The media outlet, which tends to be much more willing to report Zionist crimes than British mainstream media, also details ‘Israeli’ prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the area on Sunday.

…[He] visited the area adjacent to the Qalandiya refugee camp, participating in a ceremony for the inauguration of Atarot Heritage Center, in the building of the historic Jerusalem International Airport, also known as Qalandiya Airport.

Qalandiya Airport was formerly a thriving international hub while under Jordanian control prior to 1967. IOF land thieves then stole it and turned it into a military base. Haaretz quoted the “Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem Governorate”, which said the heritage centre is:

a dangerous escalation in settlement expansion and a flagrant violation of international law…

Britain permitting ongoing West Bank land theft

The Palestinian WAFA News Agency quoted the governorate’s view that it is yet another case of the Zionist entity’s “imposition of facts on the ground”. That is, the IOF forcefully continuing a policy of ethnic cleansing, establishing such a presence on Palestinian land that reversal becomes ever less likely.

While the IOF continues to carry out its most heinous crimes in Gaza, Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank continue to endure huge suffering too.

The Canary has just reported on the Binyamin Plan, which aims to “establish 13 new illegal settlements” on territory the Tel Aviv terror regime intends to steal from Palestinians.

Our article points out:

The UK’s continued failure to adopt meaningful measures in response to the expansion of settlements risks falling short of its obligations under international law while continuously ignoring irreversible changes on the ground.

While this is the case, Zionist crimes will continue relentlessly, even if they’re caught on camera.
