Border Police Suspends Fighter After Qalandiya Stun-Grenade Video

A same-morning update says Border Police suspended a fighter from operational activity after video from Qalandiya showed him throwing a stun grenade into an occupied vehicle, blocking the driver's door as it detonated and then aiming his rifle as passengers moved away. Israel Police said the conduct did not match procedures and referred the case to the Police Internal Investigations Department, while Border Police separately said forces had been operating in a violent disturbance around Qalandiya and Kafr Aqab with stones and Molotov cocktails. No injuries were reported in the stun-grenade incident. Israeli forces need authority to stop violent riots, but discipline and transparent review are also part of protecting the state's legitimacy.
