lego 44,165 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 A video published on Facebook by Youth Against Settlements shows the moments after an Israeli settler shot dead a Palestinian teenager in Hebron, Saturday. At 12 seconds into the video, one soldier hands off an object to another soldier, who appears to drop it by the body. The video has raised suspicions that the soldiers are planting a knife. The settler who reportedly killed the youth is seen in the video walking around with his handgun still drawn. Ma’an News Agency has identified the youth as 18-year-old Fadil Qawasmi. The shooting took place in central Hebron’s Shuhada Street. “Palestinians may only access the street by passing through an Israeli military checkpoint with a metal detector,” Ma’an notes, “raising suspicions among locals as to whether Qawasmi could have been carrying a knife at the time of the alleged attack.” Ma’an reported that local resident Mufid Sharabati said that the settler shot the youth near the Israeli settlement of Beit Hadassah. Sharabati added, according to Ma’an, that “paramedics of the Palestinian Red Crescent arrived but Israeli soldiers didn’t allow them to access the young man. The soldiers then covered the young man’s face then took him in an ambulance to unknown destination.” Damage control The Israeli army spokesperson Peter Lerner attempted to do damage control as the incriminating video spread. In a post on Twitter, Lerner claimed that the object passed between the soldiers was a radio, used to report the incident. Careful viewing of the video shows that what appears to be a radio is passed between one soldier and the officer standing by Qawasmi’s body. But seconds later another item is passed to the officer, who appears to drop it by the body. Lerner’s spin fails to account for this second object. http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/video-shows-israeli-settler-shooting-dead-teenage-palestinian-hebron-2049519290 https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/video-did-israeli-soldier-plant-knife-teen-killed-settler FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
