NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) invading the Gaza Strip in late 2008 and early 2009 shot at any Palestinian citizen talking on a mobile phone, Hebrew website Walla said.
The Givati brigade members were ordered to arrest any Palestinian carrying a mobile phone during the war on Gaza and in the event of noncompliance they would shoot him on the belief that he was conveying field information to resistance fighters about the soldiers' moves, the website elaborated on Sunday.
The Israeli military police had started investigating the case, the site said, adding that the soldiers had fired without warning on any Palestinian talking on a mobile phone and on many occasions injured the civilians. A member of the brigade revealed that they were ordered to shoot on sighting anyone carrying a mobile.
Israeli military sources said that those who gave the orders were not known, but a big number of soldiers and officers were questioned over the past few weeks after international human rights groups published reports on the murder of innocent Palestinians in the war on Gaza.
