A boy from the shooting incident in Samaria: "The Policeman Shot Wildly In All Directions"

English Translation:
An initial testimony from one of the settlers who was injured by the policeman's gunfire in Samaria: "We see the policeman going wild and shooting a lot of bullets in every direction. I took a bullet in the jaw and miraculously I'm here. The policeman shot at the height of the guys' heads"

Two days after the serious incident in Samaria, one of the settlers who was injured by the policeman's gunfire provided initial testimony about the incident hours before entering surgery. According to the settler who was hit by a bullet in the jaw, the policeman fired indiscriminately at the settlers: "There were about 40 guys at the event and suddenly out of nowhere shots started. We caught the policeman going wild and shooting amok in every direction. I took a bullet in the jaw and miraculously I'm here. The policeman shot at the height of the guys' heads."

Meanwhile, attorneys Nati Rom and Haim Bleicher from the Honenu organization, who accompanied two of the settlers who were shot, wrote to the police demanding to receive the body camera footage of the shooting officer as well as the police communications network recordings from the time of the incident. In addition, the attorneys demand that the officer be detained until the investigation is complete, after he was released to house arrest after a brief interrogation.

Attorney Nati Rom said: "We are after a harsh incident of which a similar case is hard to recall, in which I find myself walking between operating rooms where young (Jewish) boys are lying with gunshot wounds to their upper body  - their skull, spine, jaw shot by an (Israeli) Police Officer . The injured who can speak said that the incident was so crazy.  They thought it was a shooting to disperse protests until they were hit by the gunfire. A police officer's encounter with a group of teenagers should not end like this. It is very puzzling why the police officer was released to house arrest. We hope that this will not be an attempt to cover up as has been the case in the past, but rather a real and serious investigation of the incident. There is an extremely serious consequence here that must be investigated immediately."

To recall, this serious incident occurred two days ago, during which a police officer fired at a group of Settlers near the settlement of Ramat Gilad in Samaria. As a result of the shooting, four Settlers were injured - one critically injured  was hit by a bullet in the head and is hospitalized at Belinson Hospital, another was seriously injured who was hit by a bullet in the back and a bullet in the shoulder and is hospitalized at Meir Hospital. Another injured was hit by a bullet in the jaw and underwent surgery, and one was lightly injured  who was treated on the site and did need to be hospitalized.
