Police arrested an off-duty IDF soldier on suspicion of involvement in the shooting of a nine-year-old Palestinian child yesterday in the area of the village of al-Mughayir, northeast of Ramallah. An IDF spokesperson confirmed this, noting that his weapon was also confiscated. The child is still hospitalized. He told Al Jazeera: ‘I managed to escape from the place, and they started advancing quickly. I was near the farm gate when they arrived. They fired at us.’
