ROMA (ITALPRESS) – He was a soldier of the Israeli army and not a colonist to stop the carabinieri last Sunday in the West Bank, in a military zone closed in the so-called C area, which is precisely under Israeli control. The Idf told the Rai of Jerusalem, as the Rainews website reports. “At the beginning of this week (Domenic), a soldier identified a vehicle directed to the community of Sde Ephraim along a closed path to civil traffic in accordance with the assessment of the operational situation and designated as a closed military zone – explains the army -. The soldier classified the vehicle as suspicious. Since the diplomatic plate had not been identified at the moment, the military approached the vehicle to stop it, pointing the weapon without opening fire, and ordered passengers to exit the vehicle and identify themselves”.
“As soon as passengers have identified themselves as diplomats, the soldier immediately released them and reported the incident to his commanders.” The army also states that “a preliminary investigation indicates that the soldier acted in accordance with the procedures required in case of encounter with a suspect vehicle. However, it did not act in accordance with the procedures applicable to diplomatic vehicles, since the vehicle was not identified as such. The soldier was summoned for a clarification meeting and a review of the procedures, which will also be strengthened for all soldiers in the area of Judea and Samaria (Cysian West Bank)”.
