In the early afternoon of 29 November last year, several Palestinian boys descended on to their street in the occupied West Bank, where they often played together.
Minutes later, two of them lay dead from gunshots fired by Israeli soldiers - Basil, 15, and eight-year-old Adam.
As part of an investigation into the conduct of Israel’s security forces in the West Bank, which has been under military occupation for more than half a century, the BBC has pieced together what happened on the day the two boys were killed.
Mobile phone and CCTV footage, information about the movements of Israel’s military, witness testimony and detailed investigation of the scene, including taking measurements, combine to reveal evidence suggesting serious human rights violations.
Accused? We have video evidence of these boys being shot by the IDF
NSFL (Death): Videos of these Palestinian children being murdered by IDF terrorists
I like how “the boys lay dead” instead of being killed.
Thanks for sharing this.
Not sure why news articles never include the footage that they’re reporting on.
Graphic footage of people being murdered in Western media is only for when we need to manufacture consent for Genocide. Remember kids only Hamas shoots people.
There’s many reasons … maybe the news source doesn’t have publishing rights to the video, sometimes it’s out of respect for the dead (that they not be used as “death porn” for clicks), and sometimes it’s for the living who don’t need to see their son - yet again - lying slaughtered in the street.
Seems like a possible, hypothetical scenario that happened there. Looks like some inadvertent collateral damage. Looks like these boys walked into the line of Israeli fire, according to some critics, according to Hamas, according to Pro-Palestinian voices, according to anti-Semitic opponents of Israel. Looks like an isolated incident.
I think we can all agree that this is extremely nuanced. This made someone remember October 7 which means both israel and Hamas are at fault here.
In fact, only Hamas is at fault here. And not israel. Blaming israel would be anti-Semitic.
