Video shows Palestinian shot from behind during Gaza clashes

Al Nabi, in black, as he is shot

Elior Levy, in YNET, writes, “A video was posted on Palestinian social media pages on Saturday showing a Palestinian man shot to death by a sniper near Jabalia during the “March of Return” rioting on the Gaza border the previous day. According to the Palestinians, 18-year-old Abd al-Fattah Abd al-Nabi was retreating from the perimeter area (the buffer zone between the Gaza Strip and the border fence) with another young Palestinian and was shot when his back was to IDF forces.” The IDF has yet to comment on the video.  

One of the Palestinian protesters is seen in the video picking up a tire and running with it away from the border fence and towards the Gaza Strip. Al-Nabi is seen joining him and taking the tire from him.The video then shows al-Nabi continuing to run away from the border fence, getting hit and dropping to the ground. The video does not show al-Nabi’s actions before his retreat. Other protesters who were in the area evacuated him. (read report and view video and more images)
