Israel accused of possible war crime over killing of boy in West Bank | BBC News


On the 29 November last year, two Palestinian boys were killed by Israeli forces in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

BBC Verify has pieced together what happened on the day when Basil, 15, and eight-year-old Adam were killed.

The evidence has prompted Ben Saul, UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, to say the death of Adam appears to be a "war crime".

The Israel Defense Forces said the circumstances of the deaths were “under review” but added “live fire is used only in order to remove immediate threats or for arrest purposes, following arrest protocols after exhausting other options”.
