Israel Defence Forces investigate violence against pro-Palestinian protesters

An Israeli soldier has been suspended after video of his violent reaction to bicycle-riding pro-Palestinian activists surfaced on Youtube over the weekend. Lieutenant Col. Shalom Eisner can be seen hitting a protester in the face, with the butt of his rifle, seemingly without provocation.

It has no place in the IDF and the State of Israel.” source
