'Palestinians' post picture of border police officer on Facebook, demand she be brought to international courts

Pictures have been posted on Facebook of a female border police officer who shot dead a 'Palestinian' whom she believed to be threatening one of her subordinates on Wednesday night. The pictures demand that she be brought to 'justice' in 'international courts.'

A picture of the female border police officer who on Wednesday shot and killed a Palestinian youth after he threatened her subordinate with what later turned out to have been a fake handgun in the West Bank city of Hebron is being circulated by pro-Palestinian groups, who are demanding to “bring the killer to trial before international courts.”

In Israel, the identity of the woman is protected by gag order, and pictures of her published in the Hebrew-language media have all been pixelated.

After the event, the officer countered questions about her conduct and said that she had acted correctly and in full compliance with the army’s rules of engagement.

Anyone in her position, she said, “would have done the same.”

The officer, a 20-year-old from Tel Aviv, recounted the events in interviews with Israeli media late Tuesday night, saying that she and two border police soldiers under her command were manning a checkpoint near the Cave of the Patriarchs when the young Palestinian approached them.

“Following the standard procedure, the soldier who was with me asked him for an ID,” she said. “The Palestinian handed him his documents and I entered the room to run a background check.”

While inside, she continued, she looked out and saw that the Palestinian had charged the soldier and drawn what appeared to be a pistol.

“With one hand,” she related, “he grabbed the soldier’s neck and pressed against him, and with the other he put the pistol to the soldier’s temple. In that situation, the soldier couldn’t break free or react.”

The female officer, who was only a few meters away, cocked her weapon.

“I was looking for an angle from which to fire without hurting the soldier,” she said, and it was only after she ascertained that his life was in danger that she pulled the trigger.

 I wonder how the 'Palestinians' found out who she is. Bet on some of our Leftist traitors.
