After careful verification, the BBC made public the flagrant case of a 14-year-old Palestinian boy shot by Israeli soldiers in November in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
The media giant's shocking claim has made headlines around the world. The Palestinian boy, identified as Jad Jadallah, was shot in the back as he ran away. As he lay on the ground in an alleyway in the camp, soldiers formed a cordon around him and blocked the entrance of two Palestinian ambulances, preventing them from approaching.
Footage shows soldiers standing around the bleeding Yadi for at least 45 minutes. Their actions are now being seen as deliberate. All Israeli soldiers receive training in trauma care, and every combat unit in the Jewish state is expected to have a doctor specially trained in such matters. Yet none of the soldiers appear to have offered medical assistance to the minor, who later died. At times, they even appeared to ignore Yadi's repeated attempts to get their attention.
The Israel Defense Forces, IDF, have accused Yadin of throwing a rock, which, according to their rules, can allow soldiers to respond by using even deadly force.
