IDF confirms army dog bit Palestinian during West Bank raid

The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday confirmed that an army dog bit an elderly Palestinian during a West Bank raid.

Salem Bani Odeh said he was in his bed when he was bitten repeatedly. He
remained hospitalized Sunday with a gash in his left ear.

The 99-year-old's relatives said he is paralyzed.

The incident occurred before dawn Friday in the village of Tamoun.

The army said Sunday that troops surrounded a house in Tamoun during a search for a Palestinian. The statement sais soldiers called on everyone to leave the house and that a resident of the house was subsequently bitten by a dog.

The statement offers no further explanation, saying only the man eventually received medical treatment from soldiers and was then taken away by Palestinian medics.

Israeli troops regularly use dogs to detect explosives and search for
militants.

Blame the dog?

The dog, as a member of the great and noble IDF, bears no responsibility for its actions.
