Rights group probe concludes 9-year-old Palestinian shot in head by live IDF fire

The B’Tselem rights group announces that its investigation into the head injury of a 9-year-old Palestinian from the northern West Bank village of Qadum has concluded that it was caused by IDF live fire.

After the boy’s serious injury was first reported following last week’s clash, the IDF said that it had not been the result of live fire.

Responding to the B’Tselem report, the army says it has opened a probe into the incident.
