Eisner – then a deputy brigade commander – hit Shakir in the back with the butt of his rifle, according to the military court verdict, during a confrontation between demonstrators protesting Israels presence in the West Bank and soldiers. As a result, Shakir said in his suit, he needed physiotherapy. He also still suffers pain that affects his functioning and has impaired his ability to work in construction. The state denies Shakirs right to compensation. The claimants injuries, if they occurred at all, are exaggerated and not related at all to the actions of the defendant, the state asserts. If the plaintiff receives any financial compensation, the defense statement reads, The defendants have the right to deduct for damages caused to them, including damages to Defendant 1 (Eisner) … including pain, suffering and emotional distress. The state asserts that Shakir was an integral part of the rioters, who violated law and order maliciously and intentionally in a violent way. The defense counter concludes that therefore Shakir should not only be held accountable for his own injuries but also for much greater bodily damage caused to Lt. Col. Eisner.
