Israeli military probes settler raid kills officers
The Israeli military has released its investigation results concerning the confrontation that took place two weeks ago in the village of Tel in northern the West Bank, which resulted in the deaths of two officers and caused Palestinian casualties and injuries. The investigation revealed that the settlers' organized trip was not coordinated with the military and exceeded the security boundary by entering the Palestinian village, leading to intense clashes. It also showed that the army had prior indications of the organizers' intentions to carry out the trip but was unable to coordinate the security aspects or determine its route and timing. The confrontation began with stone-throwing and escalated into gunfire exchanges after armed Palestinian militants seized a security officer's weapon, resulting in four Palestinians being killed and two wounded, in addition to the death of Major Yoav Ezra after close-range gunfire exchanges with one of the militants. The investigation pointed out that one of the leaders, Captain Binyahu Milt, might have been shot by Israeli fire along with Palestinian gunfire, but the absence of an autopsy prevented a definitive conclusion. It was also noted that there was a field failure in providing immediate medical treatment to Binyahu Milt, who remained severely injured until a civilian medic was able to evacuate him. Based on these findings, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir issued instructions to tighten procedures regarding soldiers' participation in uncoordinated civilian activities. Additionally, legal action against the organizers of the trip is under consideration. It was also decided to promote Binyahu Milt to the rank of Captain posthumously, in recognition of his role during the confrontation.
