IDF says it is investigating soldiers' conduct after drone injures volunteer helping with West Bank olive harvest

The Israeli military has launched an investigation after a volunteer assisting with the Palestinian olive harvest in the West Bank was injured by a drone operated by soldiers. Initial statements from the military claimed that the drone was brought down by volunteers throwing stones, but newly released footage contradicted this, showing the drone striking a volunteer and then falling. The footage also captured soldiers pointing weapons at the volunteers and firing into the air. The military has acknowledged the incident as involving unprofessional conduct and stated that disciplinary measures will be taken against those responsible.
