I recall at the time. The Israeli Government said that Al Dura was killed in crossfire. And he should not have been there.
I read online that there was an israeli investigation, I read that concluded that Al Dura could not have
been killed by israeli soldiers (the obvious implication being that he was killed by palestinians).
Masada2000 site used to have more pictures. From The angle the israelis were shooting from, to the boy. There was a strong metal barrel in between. The big proof is that the bullet angle - seen from the bullet hole - came from the palestinian position. Not the israeli one. Also, the father is seen shouting in their direction. As if to say "no".
The Israeli Government knew about the results of the investigation, but did not publicise that for obvious reasons (they are leftist, and knew it would damaage the peace process / land for peace process)
New evidence now is that Al Dura may not even be dead.
extract from
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3455496,00.htmlThe arguments were based on investigations that showed that the angles of the IDF troops' fire could not have hit the child or his father, that part of the filmed material, mainly the moment of the boy's alleged death, is missing, and the fact that the cameraman can be heard saying the boy is dead while the boy is still seen moving.
What kids should realise. Is that the pictures of Al Dura were PLASTERED all over newspapers . The al dura news was not to lament the death of a little boy that died in a tragic accident. But to demonise Israel. Make Israel out to be [intentional[ child killers (and targetting children). e.t.c.
