A new documented war crime.
28 April 2010 - A Palestinian youth, Ahmad Sliman Salem Dib, aged 19, died at Ash-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City after he was injured by Israeli fire while attending a demonstration near the border to protest the imposition of “no-go” zones by Israeli armed forces.
In the following video a group of Palestinians and internationals are seen walking from the Ash-Shaj'iya neighborhood, east of Gaza, toward the Israeli border fence. The youths reach a distance of a few dozen meters from the border, facing an Israeli military post. A soldier is seen near the post, observing events. None of the protesters are armed.
According to B'Tselem, the video shows a group of youths, some of them throwing stones at the military post. There is a sound of one shot. The injured youth is seen evacuated to receive medical treatment. He died later of his wounds. A previous shot, which was fired approximately 10 minutes earlier, was not captured on tape. The video was edited for length, B'Tselem noted.
