More on 13-year-old girl killed by Israeli gunfire in Qarout

Earlier we reported a 13-year-old Palestinian girl was shot and killed in her home in the occupied West Bank village of Qarout.  Local media have now identified her as Bana Amjad Bakr.

Witnesses said dozens of Israeli settlers raided the village under the protection of Israeli soldiers, which led to clashes and troops firing live rounds at residents’ homes.

Bakr died of bullet wounds she sustained in the chest. She was in her bedroom with her sisters when she was shot, her father said.


Video shows Israeli soldier taking selfie with Palestinian prisoner in occupied West Bank

Our colleague at Al Jazeera Arabic have obtained and verified video footage showing an Israeli soldier taking selfies with a Palestinian taken prisoner in Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

The short clip shows Israeli soldiers taking away two bound and blindfolded Palestinian men. The first man is seen being led away by four Israeli soldiers while a fifth Israeli soldier roughly puts his arm around a second prisoner – who wrists are bound behind his back – and takes at least two selfies with a mobile phone in quick succession as they march.

Human rights monitors have long drawn attention to Israeli soldiers documenting their war crimes in Gaza with mobile phone cameras and uploading images and video clips to social media.

Such material has included Israeli troops destroying Palestinian civilian infrastructure in Gaza, vandalising and stealing from Palestinian homes and schools, as well as abusing prisoners.
