Ben Gvir Says Sniper Who Killed 12-year-old Boy 'Deserves Award'

Undercover units of Israel's Border Police regularly kill Palestinian children without any accountability

On Tuesday, a sniper in an undercover combat unit of the Border Police opened fire on the young boy, Rami Hamdan al-Halhouli, after he shot a firework high in the air during confrontations in the narrow streets of the Shuafat refugee camp in occupied East Jerusalem.

Ben Gvir saluted the officer who killed the boy. “This is exactly how you should act against terrorists – with determination and precision,” he said.

In a statement, Israeli Border Police claimed violent riots broke out in the camp and that during the unrest, a single shot was fired by an officer towards a suspect “who endangered the forces while firing aerial fireworks in their direction.”

However, the video of the moment Halhouli shot the fireworks gives no indication that Israeli forces were in any danger.

....Ben Gvir, who oversees the Border Police as National Security Minister, responded to the news of the summons by saying the sniper “should receive a reward – not an investigation by the Israel Defense Forces.”
