No criminal charges for Israeli soldiers in death of elderly Palestinian-American detainee

Israeli soldiers involved in the death of 78-year-old Palestinian-American Omar Assad will face no criminal charges for his death.
Two Israeli commanders will face minor disciplinary actions and removal from senior positions for two years for their role in the incident.
Palestinian officials claim Assad died from cardiac arrest caused by stress from being manhandled by Israeli soldiers during his detention.
Human rights groups argue Israel rarely holds its soldiers accountable for violence against Palestinians, creating a culture where they act with impunity.
The U.S. State Department had demanded an investigation into Assad's death due to his dual Palestinian-American nationality and profile as an elderly civilian.
