WATCH: IDF officer fires tear gas directly at photographer

[Alfalfa]

A video shot in the West Bank town of Beit Ummar last Wednesday shows an IDF officer shooting a tear gas canister directly at a volunteer videographer from human rights organization B’Tselem.

The images were captured during a protest in the small town, north of Hebron. Stones were thrown at an army vehicle; soldiers shot tear gas in the general direction of the stone throwers. B’Tselem photographer Muhmmad Awad was standing near the soldiers and documenting the event when an officer aimed and shot shot a tear gas canister directly at him. Awad suffered light injuries.

Here is a screen cap of the tear gas canister a nano seconf before it hits the photog from the human rights org, from the IDF soldier who "wasn't aiming at civilians"...because it's illegal and the IDF NEVER shoots tear gas directly at people...according to the IDF.

Tear gas is s non-lethal agent typically used for crowd control. Your goofy "gassing" claims are mere melodrama.
