The IDF spokesperson published a statement on Friday, however, saying that the woman was wounded by rocks that were thrown by other protesters.

“A border police officer and a French citizen were lightly wounded by rocks that were thrown at them during a disturbance of the peace,” the statement said. 

The Border Police also responded, saying that “according to the reports in our possession, the injury of the [French] citizen was the result of rock throwing carried out by the residents of the village during a violent disturbance of the peace against security forces. A border patrol medical team gave first aid to the injured woman and aided in her evacuation.”

The video,released on Saturday, shows a group of demonstrators shouting slogans at IDF soldiers, and then backing away from the soldiers as they approach the group. When they have their backs turned to the soldiers, a gas grenade is fired toward them, wounding the French activist in the neck.
