The Israeli Army has launched an investigation inside the Military Police after a soldier attackeda vehicle near the West Bank town of Hebron on Friday, killing a seven-month-old baby.

"We have decided on the basis of preliminary checks to initiate an investigation into the Military Police Investigation Division," a military statement said, stating that the results of the investigation will be forwarded to the office of the Military Advocate General.

In particular, they will discuss the murder of seven-month-old baby Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, who was attacked in the Tel Rumeida area of Hebron while in his car with his parents.



According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, the shot that hit the baby also wounded his mother in the jaw and his father in one hand.

He added that the three were going to visit the baby's grandmother when they were shot.

The Israeli Army issued a statement on Friday night stating that the soldiers "saw a vehicle approaching them", although the note itself acknowledged that "civilians" were inside the car.

This is the second such shooting in recent months. In March, in Tamun, in the northern West Bank, Israeli soldiers killed a father and mother, along with their children, aged 7 and 5.
