Jewish youth from the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar tied up and beat a Palestinian man shot by the settlement's emergency response team, an Israeli military investigation found.
The weapons of the emergency response team were confiscated by the military after the incident, according to reports.
The incident occurred on May 26 during a clash between settlers and Palestinians from a nearby village, as both sides accused the other of setting fire to nearby fields. The Palestinian man was shot and captured by youths before being rescued by Israeli soldiers. A knife reportedly was found among his possessions.
A week earlier, Yitzhar residents showed up at a similar clash carrying guns.
