Teen charged with attempted murder in Gaza attack
Israeli prosecutors today filed a charge of attempted murder against Shimshon Siton, an Israeli teenager accused of battering a Palestinian youth with rocks during a settler takeover of an abandoned Palestinian house in the Gaza Strip last month, Israeli Army Radio reported.
The attack on the Palestinian raised an outcry in Israel when TV footage showed Israeli youths throwing large rocks at his head as he lay unconscious and bleeding. The thud of rocks on the victim’s skull could be heard, along with one of the attackers shouting “let him die”.
