The IDF is taking disciplinary action against reservists who were filmed apparently posing for a selfie following a shooting incident in Bani Naim in Judea and Samaria, with commanders examining the soldiers’ conduct separately from the operational circumstances surrounding the shooting
The incident occurred following an encounter involving Israeli troops and a vehicle. The IDF is investigating the circumstances, including whether soldiers believed the vehicle posed an intentional threat.
Video subsequently circulated showing soldiers gathering following the shooting, prompting a separate military examination of their behavior after the immediate incident.
The IDF said the behavior shown was inconsistent with the standards expected of its soldiers and that commanders would address the matter through disciplinary channels.
The military investigation into the underlying shooting remains ongoing, and the IDF has not announced final conclusions regarding the circumstances that prompted troops to open fire.
