Video of Fatally Wounded Teenager Sparks Palestinian Rage


JERUSALEM — A Palestinian teenager was lying motionless on the ground in an olive grove after being shot — fatally, it would turn out — by Israeli security forces. The footage was shown on Palestinian television and spread quickly on Palestinian social networks, stoking popular outrage. An Israeli soldier was recently convicted in a military court of manslaughter after fatally shooting a wounded and subdued Palestinian assailant in the head. Hisham Abu Shaqrah, a Palestinian photojournalist working for Anadolu, the Turkish news agency, filmed the video in Tekoa. Mr. Abu Shaqrah told Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency, that he had initially considered running to help the wounded teenager.
