Israeli security forces shot dead a 14-year-old boy in the Fara refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, and stood around as he bled out, CCTV footage revealed by the BBC shows. Jad Jadallah was shot at close range in November by soldiers during a military incursion into the camp, located south of Tubas.
According to the BBC, video footage and eyewitness testimony indicate that 14 soldiers stood around Jadallah for at least 45 minutes as he bled from his wounds.
The army, which continues to withhold Jadallah’s body, has also refused to provide media with comments on the autopsy results. As the Palestinian teen lay bleeding on the ground, there appeared to be no attempt to provide life-saving aid.
Despite the Israeli army telling the BBC that ‘initial medical treatment’ was provided for Jadallah, local news outlets noted that ambulance crews were initially blocked from reaching him.
