Israeli police investigate officer filmed throwing stun grenade into car

Israeli police have opened an investigation after CCTV footage showed a police officer throwing a stun grenade into a car carrying young Palestinians during a raid on Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

The footage, released by Israeli rights group B'Tselem, shows an officer approaching a car and shouting at its occupants during Sunday's raid. The officer is heard shouting: "Shut your mouth. Who are you talking to like that?"

B'Tselem said that all those in the car survived.

Police said the officer acted "not in accordance with procedure" and that the justice ministry's department for the investigation of police officers was handling the case. The officer has been suspended pending the investigation.
