New surveillance camera footage from a deadly incident in the West Bank city of Hebron last week appears to contradict the military’s claim of a car-ramming attack.
On Saturday, the army said it shot dead a Palestinian who allegedly accelerated in his vehicle toward troops near a checkpoint in Hebron. A second Palestinian, a passerby, was also shot dead amid the incident.
The new video shows the car involved in the incident initially driving past the soldiers, who are behind concrete blocks. The car is then seen reversing, and the soldiers approach the driver, apparently calling on him to halt.
The car continues to reverse away from the troops, hitting one soldier in the process, as gunshots ring out.
