Children killed by Israeli soldiers ‘hiding’ near schools, says Human Rights Watch


At least twice in 2013, Israeli occupation forces ambushed, shot and killed Palestinian children near schools in the occupied West Bank for no apparent reason, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says in a 5 January release.

“No evidence has been presented by the Israeli authorities that a 15-year-old boy fatally shot in the back by Israeli soldiers near his school on 9 December 2013 posed any threat to life that would justify such a killing,” HRW states.

The boy, Wajih al-Ramahi, was killed in Jalazone refugee camp near Ramallah .... http://electronicintifada.net
