Israeli Court Orders Investigation Into Brian Avery Shooting

HeadlineMar 01, 2005

In Israel, the country’s supreme court has ordered the Israeli military to reopen its investigation into the shooting of U.S. peace activist Brian Avery. Avery was shot in the West Bank town of Jenin nearly two years ago. The shooting shattered his jaw and his nose forcing him to undergo a series of facial reconstruction surgeries. Witnesses said an Israeli Armored Personnel Carrier opened fire on Avery but Israel has denied being behind the shooting. Avery returned to Israel last week for the first time since the shooting to attend the Supreme Court proceeding.
