Video Captured Killing Of 2 Palestinian Teenagers at Demonstration -- New York Times
JERUSALEM — A human-rights group circulated a video on Tuesday that renews questions about last week’s killing of two Palestinian teenagers by Israeli forces during a West Bank demonstration.
The video, taken from a security camera belonging to a business in Beitunia, a West Bank town outside Ramallah, was edited and promoted by Defense for Children International-Palestine and shows two youths felled by apparent gunfire on May 15 about an hour apart in a sparsely populated concrete expanse shrouded by a cloud of smoke. Neither of the teenagers appeared to be engaged in provocative behavior at the time they were shot, though the video shows another individual hurling stones from the same spot seven minutes before the first shooting.
Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s executive committee, condemned Israel’s “deliberate execution” of the teenagers, calling the shootings “crimes against humanity under international law” and demanding “immediate action” by the United Nations and the European Union. Rifat Kassis, executive director of Defense for Children-International, said that “neither child presented a direct and immediate threat to life at the time of their shooting” and called on Israel to “conduct serious, impartial, and thorough investigations to hold the perpetrators accountable for their crimes.”
