Fellow soldiers of the shooting IDF/ITF soldier claim that this is
practically a daily occurrence. The execution of Abed al-Fattah Yusri
al-Sharif is nothing out of the ordinary but is only treated
differently, according to them, because the shooter was an ordinary
soldier rather than a commander:
"The problem is that him,
specifically, shouldn't have done that. Someone more senior, an officer,
who would have paid attention and I'm telling you, if an officer would
have paid attention - he would have shot him. The problem is that he was
a regular soldier."
Q: Does it happen sometimes that officers act this way ["verify a kill"]?
A: Of course! In tons!
