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.

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?
