Israeli soldiers joke as Palestinian man is crushed

Footage has emerged of Israeli soldiers laughing as a Palestinian worker is squashed in a gate.

A video of the event, which took place at the Atarot Industrial Zone in occupied Jerusalem, was uploaded onto social media however no details are given as to when the event took place. The footage shows a Palestinian worker walking through a small gap in the gate only for it to be closed on him.

Soldiers watching the footage can be heard laughing at him. One says: “It crushed him. This guy is stupid.”
