Disguised Israelis join Palestinian demonstrators throwing rocks at uniformed soldiers, before opening fire on Palestinians next to them
A video has emerged showing an undercover Israeli security unit kicking, shooting and arresting Palestinian rock throwers in the West Bank on Wednesday.
The footage, filmed near Beit El in the West Bank by an AFP journalist, shows the agents – disguised as Palestinian rock throwers, sporting kaffiyehs, faded jeans, trainers and T-shirts – capturing and beating one man while firing at the Palestinian stone throwers, accompanied by IDF soldiers.
The disguised Israelis had been in the midst of the Palestinian demonstrators for at least 30 minutes, AFP reported, themselves throwing rocks at uniformed Israeli soldiers. Then they turned and opened fire at the Palestinians next to them, wrestling one of them to the ground.
Three people were wounded during the attack, including one man who was in a serious condition after he was shot in the back of the head.
Palestinian Ma’an news agency said there were 18 casualties, due to shots from rubber coated bullets.

Here's a video from Youtube - not the one in the Telegraph article, but it was the only postable clip I could find:

Is this the kind of policing you want to see in the US - undercover agents shooting scores of anti-Trump protesters in Albuquerque for example? I really don't, and that's why I feel that we disagree.
