Security camera video from a West Bank village shows a young man standing in a central square when he is suddenly shot and drops to the ground. Two others rushing to his aid are also hit, leaving a 17-year-old dead, moments before Israeli military jeeps roll in.
An Associated Press review of the video and interviews with the two wounded survivors showed Israeli soldiers opened fire on the three when they did not appear to pose a threat. One of the wounded Palestinians was shot a second time after he got up and tried to hop away.
The Israeli military said troops entered Beit Rima overnight Thursday into Friday as part of a “counter-terrorism operation.” It said troops fired at suspects who threw explosives and firebombs at them.
The video, obtained by the AP from a local smoke shop, does not show anyone throwing explosives.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Hell, the IDF shot three Israelis without provocation.
Fuck Israel.
daily reminder that this is a genocide
They were brown, that was all the provocation needed.
This is becoming like school shootings in the US… Until anyone in power magically grows a heart and soul, nothing will improve.
Now you know why the Palestinian resistance isn’t surrendering. Betting on the West growing a heart is generally not a good idea.

The video isn’t on that site. Do you know where the video is available to view?
? The video is right in the middle of the article.

The fact that you equate criticism of israel with antisemitism shoes what you are really talking about.
It’s there

Pay attention to the wording. Curb your outrage, they have no idea what happened.
Edit: Fuck Israel. Do I get your dumdum points now?
The video is clear, but I will listen if you can justify what you see.
Justify what? Read the article. It’s written with uncertainty. This is why investigations exist.
There’s a video in the article showing some unarmed people just standing around, one of them is kneeling and trying to light up a pile of cardboard. For no apparent reason one of them is shot and the guy trying to help him is shot too. The first angle of the video shows that the shooter must have been far away, and the second angle shows that he’s so far away that even if one of them was preparing a Molotov, there’s no way he’d be able to harm the shooter.
What do you want the investigation to uncover? Do you think the soldier was threatened from his spot in some building a mile away?
And yet the article is written with uncertainty, slick.
Ok? People usually require video evidence to trust an article, not the other way around, but I guess you have your reasons. I will just pretend that you’re blind and cannot trust my transcription of the video, and each one of us goes on their way.
I’ll just pretend you can’t read.
