The Israeli military is investigating allegations that reservist forces beat an eighteen-year-old Palestinian man in the West Bank, resulting in significant injuries. The incident occurred near the Sde Ephraim Farm settlement, where the man was reportedly wandering and praying. Military sources claim the man approached Israeli civilians while shouting slogans and expressing intentions of violence, and that he may suffer from mental illness. Reservist soldiers fired warning shots and physically struggled with the man before arresting him. The military has stated that the conduct of the reservists is under review, with particular attention to the 'disturbing' extent of the man's injuries. The Palestinian man, speaking from a hospital, alleges he was kidnapped, punched, and beaten with a rifle by settlers who threatened his life.
