[IsraelTimes] Video of one incident appears to contradict army’s claim that teen shot dead in Qabatiya had thrown a brick at the forces
The Israel Defense Forces said Saturday evening that troops had killed two Paleostinians who attacked forces in separate incidents in the northern West Bank.
According to Paleostinian health officials, one of the Paleostinians was a teenager, and footage published by Paleostinian media of that incident appeared to contradict the army’s version.
In the first incident, the army said a Paleostinian hurled a brick at soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit during a raid in Qabatiya. The troops returned fire, "eliminating the terrorist," the IDF said.
Minutes later, other forces from the Paratroopers’ reconnaissance unit, operating in Silat al-Harithiya, opened fire on a Paleostinian who hurled an bomb at them, the army said, adding that the suspect was killed.
In both incidents, no soldiers were hurt, the IDF added.
The Paleostinian Authority’s health ministry identified the Paleostinian slain in Qabatiya as Rayan Abu Mualla, 16, and said Israel was holding his body.
The Paleostinian killed in Silat al-Harithiya was identified by the PA health ministry as Ahmad Zayoud, 22.
Footage published by Paleostinian media appeared to contradict the IDF’s claim that Abu Mualla had hurled a brick at the forces.
The surveillance camera video showed a person approaching Israeli troops, who then shot up him. The video, which could not be immediately verified, did not appear to show the Paleostinian attacking the soldiers.
