"The soldier is partially blocked from view by other members of his unit when the shot is fired. However, the impact of the bullet can be seen in the video.

Afterward, the Palestinian can be seen bleeding from the head.

“This appears to be a serious violation of the IDF code and of what is expected of IDF soldiers and officers,” the army said in response to the video.

The Military Police will begin looking into the incident and the soldier has “been suspended from his position until the end of the investigation,” the IDF said. The soldier was detained for further questioning."

 

 

"The public atmosphere in Israel being what it is, a cold-blooded execution should come as no surprise. Politicians and rabbis are repeatedly calling on soldiers to kill terrorists without thinking too much about it.

Cold-blooded execution – this is what the camera of the Palestinian B’Tselem volunteer caught Thursday morning in Hebron. Two young Palestinians stabbed an Israel Defense Forces soldier in the city’s Jewish enclave, the Tel Rumeida neighborhood. The soldier was slightly injured; his comrades shot the attackers and injured them. The video begins with what happened next. Soldiers, medics and Israeli civilians gather around. Some helped evacuate the wounded soldier, but no one approaches the two Palestinians, one of whom seemed to be lying on the ground with a head wound. The Palestinian was moving his head slightly, so he was still alive at this point. But it can clearly be seen he already posed no danger. A few officers were talking on the phone; one was issuing orders.

Only one person, a medic from a settlement, approaches the Palestinian a few times, but not to treat him. Rather, he was busy filming him. Suddenly, a shot is heard.

....

No one standing around seemed particularly alarmed by what they had just seen. A car and an ambulance maneuver so as not to run over the body of the dead Palestinian. The camera focuses on the head, blood gushing out and running down the road.

The camera shows us relatively rare and comprehensive footage of the incident, which does not leave much room for conflicting interpretations. It’s all there: the indifference toward the fate of the injured enemy, even though the rules of war require he be treated the moment he no longer presents a danger; the shooting of the Palestinian lying helpless on the ground, in utter contradiction to the values of the Israel Defense Forces; and the Israelis at the scene watching with complete apathy.

To what extent is this incident unusual in Hebron?"

I google translated the description and title. Basically a Palestinian stabbed a soldier (he didn't die ) and they were arrested and executed immediately...

A clear violation of human rights. You can't just execute someone in the middle of the street without a proper trial ...

He wasn't a threat. He was on the ground , unconsious and they shoot him on the head...

The soldier said he did nothing wrong.

Empty condemnations and suspension is because it was caught on tape and went viral. 

They got orders and incitement from the top to shoot to kill no matter what.

 

 

"A month ago IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot mentioned the case of the girl with the scissors to warn against unnecessary shooting, and was roundly criticized by ministers, MKs and rabbis. Now it is even clearer why Eisenkot was alarmed."

Oh I completely misread that. I thought you meant "fired" as in "fire a gun"
