Footage shows Israeli forces standing by as Palestinian boy they shot bled out

On 16 November 2025, Israeli security forces shot and killed 14-year-old Jad Jadallah in the Far’a refugee camp, located in the occupied West Bank, during a military raid. CCTV footage revealed by the BBC shows that Israeli soldiers shot Jadallah at close range. Eyewitness accounts and video evidence indicate that 14 soldiers stood around him for at least 45 minutes as he bled from his wounds. During this time, Israeli forces reportedly blocked Palestinian ambulances from reaching Jadallah, preventing any immediate medical assistance. The footage has raised significant concerns regarding the actions of the soldiers, who did not attempt to provide aid to the injured boy. The Israeli army has withheld Jadallah's body and has not provided comments regarding the autopsy results. The incident has drawn attention to the conduct of Israeli security forces during military operations in Palestinian territories. The lack of intervention by the soldiers as Jadallah lay bleeding has sparked outrage and calls for accountability. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and violence in the region, particularly concerning the treatment of Palestinian civilians during military actions.
