Israeli media reported that the IOF command acknowledged that one of its officers caused the death of a Palestinian preterm baby at the Hawara checkpoint near Nablus city, adding that the military court decided to send the officer to jail for only 28 days and transfer him to another military post.
The baby's father narrated the story saying that the IOF troops at the checkpoint prevented him and his pregnant wife from crossing the point in order to go to hospital despite the fact that his wife was bleeding.
He added that as they were waiting, his wife gave birth to their son Zaid who lived just for a few moments and after one hour and a half Palestinian paramedics arrived at the checkpoint and completed the birth process to save the life of his wife.
The father pointed out that on the next day, as they were carrying their baby in a small coffin to burry him at the cemetery, the Israeli soldiers at the checkpoint started mocking and saying to each other, "if you like to see a dead baby, come and take a look inside this box."
Big tough uniformed child killers hiding behind a military uniform. It must take a lot of courage to kill children, especially when you're a coward.
