The Protest Dispersed. Then an Israeli Sniper Shot a 9-year-old Palestinian Boy in the Head

From 100 meters away, an IDF soldier shot a boy in the head in the West Bank village of Kafr Qaddum. The bullet exploded into dozens of fragments in the child's brain and he's now in an induced coma

In the freezer of their home in Kafr Qaddum in the West Bank, the family is preserving the last memories they have of their youngest child: a chocolate-banana popsicle and a piece of watermelon on a toothpick. Abd el-Rahman Shatawi had bought them about half an hour before an Israel Defense Forces sniper knelt on the slope of the rocky hill overlooking the village, and from a distance of 100 meters fired one live round into the 9-year-old’s head. The bullet exploded into dozens of pieces of shrapnel in his brain.

Shatawi is now in the intensive care ward of Safra Children’s Hospital, at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer. He is in an induced coma and is hooked up to a medical ventilator. His father and a cousin don’t leave his bedside for more than a few minutes, hoping for a miracle. But it’s unlikely that this boy will ever be able to enjoy the treats he bought.

Footage from the security camera of the grocery store where he made his purchases last Friday captured the disturbing moments before the shooting: Abd el-Rahman is wandering between the shelves of candy and the ice-cream freezer, trying to decide what to buy. A little boy in flip-flops, a T-shirt and sweatpants. That’s also how he looked to the IDF shooter, peering through his sophisticated optic sights, before squeezing the trigger.

After depositing the frozen treats in the freezer at home, Abd el-Rahman had gone to stand at the entrance to his friend’s house at the edge of town. Although the focal point of the weekly demonstration in town was not nearby – the soldier took aim, fired and hit the child in the head.

At 1:15 P.M., the demonstrators set out from the center of Kafr Qaddum; according to the organizers, there were 300 to 400 people. This month, the stubborn protests entered their ninth year: Every Friday and Saturday, residents march toward the road leading into their village, which has long been blocked off by the IDF to accommodate the neighboring settlement of Kedumim. Their goal is to protest the takeover of their lands by Kedumim, and the closing of the road.

Last Friday they had proceeded for about 10 minutes, when a few dozen soldiers emerged, spreading out in a wide swath, from among the olive trees nearby. It’s a weekly ritual. But this time, according to the demonstrators, the troops fired with greater intensity than usual, using rubber-coated metal bullets and stun grenades. The shooting began at 1:25 and continued for about 20 minutes, while young people from the village set tires ablaze and threw stones at the soldiers from a distance.

The dramatic turning point, although the IDF has denied it, occurred at 1:30 P.M., when the soldiers switched to live fire. Why they did so isn’t clear – none of them was in mortal danger, certainly not the sniper lurking high on the hill. The villagers saw the bullets fly and lodge in the walls of houses and water tanks, puncturing the latter so their contents streamed out, and they were seized by fear. The soldiers used automatic fire, dozens of bullets at least, they say.

May Allah, all Israelis see the murder of at least one of their family members before their death... Aameen. May Allah, when Israelis jump into sea of hide behind a tree, that sea and that tree say: o people there is a jew behind me, come and kill it.

Shameless terrorists, bhartis and israilis.

LIVE FIRE.Not rubber bullets! @500
Have some shame!

Then again, I suppose we shouldn't expect any better from a morally bankrupt illegal occupier state.

Well if live bullet exploded inside head it would make a huge cavity and kill him on place. So its totally exlided

Other possibility is a ricochet. That could explain many small fragments.

Child killers cowards

Not with pakistan, as far as I am aware.

Clearly you havent read what Ben Gorien said. Educate yourself before having an opinion. Then you will have an informed opinion. Plus feb 26 and 27 what were the Israelis doing in india....distributing sweets

Hitler did had the jews. You just entered the wrong room. Pharaoh didnt kill you male offspring and allow your females to live you just misunderstood him.

Fair point about Ben gurion. Still, if they can rectify their war crime tendencies, I honestly think a lot of the past tensions between Israel and Pakistan can potentially be reset. We have no current direct disputes. We can criticise them for helping India against us but how often did we help Arab air forces against them?

 

[Crystal-Clear]

indeed they are the rejected ones .

The title is obviously a fake. Its impossible deliberately shot head with rubber bullet from 100 m. It has very low muzzle velocity (around 60 m/s) and very poor ballistics. U barely can hit a body from 30 meters with it. Penetration from 100 m is also almost zero.

So it was extremely unlucky stray bullet.


If u compare to any other similar conflicts number of casualties is extremely low.

If it was a rubber bullet how did it shatter in the brain?

Please don't spread B's on our forum...take your apology to hell -in the literal sense coz that is the only prayer you will ever get for being a blatant liar

So it was extremely unlucky stray bullet.

Unlucky stray bullet away from the protest? What is your sophisticated equipment for if you nimkapoops can't even use it properly?

Other possibility is a ricochet. That could explain many small fragments.

Your army uses these on protests? Kind of shows how weak you guys are that you have to shoot people walking in the street...shooting children shamelessly shows nothing but your weakness

 

[damm1t]

Israelis are cowards and shameless parasites but will we really blame them for all the things are happening right now? Real ones to blame is Usa for its unlimited support for Israel and its pathetic spineless Arab royal pets.

 

[Dubious]

Thread is about Israel and it's atrocity again....keep it to that.

Kindly don't air your divide to your enemy....

You dont understand jews.
They still want money from iraq from nearly 3000 years ago when jews lived there. Prophet pbuh told us if they live amongst you u will never have peace. They double crossed the prophet pbuh at the battle of the ditch whilst under muslim protection. So my dear brother...do u know more than the prophet pbuh. Why time and again in the Quran these people are frowned upon by Allah.

@500...hopefully soon you will suffer a personal tragedy. You are a cursed people. For 3000 years you wondered the earth homeless...your time is coming. Read your own scripture. The final solution

Another dark day in this shit hole called Middle East, i don't blame the Israelis for all that, Arabs and US/UK are also responsible for this mess.

Don't call yourself MAN if you kill children, f*cking cowards.
