Israel soldier posts photo of Palestinian boy in cross-hairs of sniper rifle

An Israel occupation soldier has published a photograph of what appears to be a Palestinian boy in the cross-hairs of a sniper’s rifle, prompting angry criticism after it was picked up by The Electronic Intifada and other news sites around the world.
Haaretz newspaper quoted a number of veterans in the Israeli occupation army as saying “this is what occupation looks like.”
The veterans said the image shows that not much has changed in the decade since a similar photograph taken by a soldier was published in 2003.
The soldier, who posted the photo on the online photo-sharing website Instagram, has since deleted his Instagram account.
The Israeli military said the soldier’s commanders had been notified and the issue would be dealt with.
Another soldier got two weeks detention for posting a picture of him standing next to cuffed and blindfolded Palestinian detainees on Facebook.
