Israel says it has
launched an investigation into a border police officer who was filmed
tipping over a Palestinian in a wheelchair in the West Bank.Justice Ministry spokesperson Eden Klein said on Monday that an investigation is under way.
The incident happened on Sunday after Israeli forces shot and wounded a Palestinian woman who police said had pulled out a knife and tried to attack an officer.
Footage shot by a local resident shows the woman on the ground bleeding and officers ordering Palestinians to keep away.
One officer flips over a Palestinian's wheelchair, dumping him on the ground.
The last five months have seen near-daily Palestinian assaults that have killed 27 Israelis.
At least 162 Palestinians, the majority of whom Israel says were attackers, have been killed by Israeli fire.
