Even as Pentagon officials have sought to emphasize their claims of ISIS being “on the run,” ever more US ground troops are being deployed into Iraq to try to cope with ISIS offensives, with the battle of Makhmur leading to the introduction of US Marines in front-line combat roles.

An Israeli rights group has released a shocking video showing the moment an Israeli soldier appears to execute a wounded Palestinian as he is lies on the ground in Hebron The victim had reportedly been injured in retaliation for a stabbing attack before being cold-bloodedly shot in the head. An Israeli military spokesperson said that the soldier had been detained and an investigation into the incident had been opened.   RT reports: The video has been uploaded to B’Tselem human rights center’s YouTube account.
