A leaked video shot in December reportedly depicted Israeli soldiers setting dogs on a Palestinian teenager. The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack, while Israel's chief military prosecutor ordered the launching of an investigation into the incident. The video went viral after being uploaded to Facebook by former ultra nationalist Knesset member Michael Ben-Ari with the caption: “The soldiers taught the little terrorist a lesson.” The video has later on been removed, but several copies were shared on the internet. The attack took place on December 23, 2014 in the 'buffer zone' in the West Bank, located between the town of Beit Ummar and the nearby Israeli settlement of Carmei Tzur, south of the town. The footage shows 16-year old Hamzeh Abou Hashem crying as a dog repeatedly attacks him, while Israeli soldiers hold him down. A man can be heard ordering the dog to “bite him” as well as tauntingly asking “who’s chicken?” according to a translation provided by Haaretz.
