Ramallah, Feb 26 (RHC)-- In the occupied West Bank city of Jericho, a Palestinian man has died after he was arrested and severely beaten by Israeli soldiers.  Israel’s military initially said they subdued 33-year-old Yasin al-Saradih after he attacked soldiers with a knife and attempted to steal a gun; the military later said they fired bullets to stop al-Saradih after he attacked soldiers with an iron bar. 
 
But surveillance video later emerged showing Israeli soldiers kicking and beating al-Saradih before dragging his limp body away.  The newspaper Haaretz reports an autopsy showed no bullet wounds were found on his body, contradicting the military’s statement.
