New footage refutes Israeli car-ramming allegation, justification of Palestinian teen’s killing
New footage has emerged questioning Israel’s narrative that a Palestinian teenager hit an Israeli soldier during a car-ramming attack last week before Israeli forces shot the teenager dead.
Israeli news outlet, Haaretz, reported that the new footage that was published yesterday shows the teenager, named Ahmed Khalil Rajabi, 17, approaching soldiers as they signal for him to stop. While Rajabi’s car pauses briefly, Israeli soldiers advance towards him with one pointing their gun at his car. In an attempt to flee, Rajabi reverses and bumps one of the soldiers.
As we have reported earlier, child rights group Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP) also questioned Israel’s take on events and reported yesterday, quoting his father, that his son was “visiting a patient at the hospital and was on his way home” when he was shot.
Israeli forces have confiscated the remains of Rajabi, refusing to allow his family to bury him.
A 55-year-old municipal sanitation worker, Ziad Na’im Jabara Abu Dawud, who was in the area, was also killed by Israeli fire during the incident.

Israel approves 19 illegal settlements in occupied West Bank
Israeli news outlets are reporting that the country’s security cabinet has approved the “establishment and regulation” of 19 settlements in the occupied West Bank, which are illegal under international law.
That includes two settlements in the northern West Bank that were dismantled during the so-called “disengagement” of 2005. The plan “was coordinated with the US in advance”, a report by Ynet added.
Israel’s Channel 14 said the decision was driven by Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who lives in an illegal settlement himself.
