An Israeli reservist soldier rammed an ATV into a Palestinian man praying on a West Bank roadside on Thursday, captured on video. The Israeli military confirmed the incident, stating the reservist's service was terminated, his weapon confiscated, and he acted in "severe violation of his authority." Video shows the armed soldier in civilian clothes ramming the vehicle into the praying man, then yelling at him to leave. The victim, though hospitalized, returned home with leg pain. His father claimed the soldier also used pepper spray and regularly provokes village residents. The attacker was arrested and placed under five-day house arrest. UN data shows over 750 Palestinian injuries from Israeli civilian attacks this year in the West Bank.
