Israel's military said on Sunday its police criminal investigation unit was investigating the killing of a Palestinian infant by an Israeli soldier in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The military acknowledged that seven-month-old Sam Fahd Abu Haikal was killed and his parents both wounded on Friday when an Israeli soldier opened fire on their car.
"Based on the findings of the preliminary examination, it was decided to open an investigation by the Military Police Criminal Investigation Division," Israel's military said.
"Upon its conclusion, the findings will be transferred to the Military Advocate General's Office," it said in a statement.
