Unlawful killing of two Palestinian teens outside Ofer

Nadeem Siam Nawara, 17, sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. Mohammad Mahmoud Odeh, 16, sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the back. Both boys were transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah where they were pronounced dead.

„The images captured on video show unlawful killings where neither child presented a direct and immediate threat to life at the time of their shooting,“ said Rifat Kassis, executive director of DCI-Palestine. „These acts by Israeli soldiers may amount to war crimes, and the Israeli authorities must conduct serious, impartial, and thorough investigations to hold the perpetrators accountable for their crimes.“
