Indictment will be issued in case of Palestinian boy shot dead in 2013
None
The state attorney announced Tuesday that it had decided to issue an indictment for negligent use of firearms in the case of a Palestinian shot dead in a clash with IDF soldiers in 2013. The state did not specify which of the involved soldiers would be prosecuted.
17-year-old Palestinian Samir Awad was killed in January 2013 in Budrus, although he apparently posed no risk to soldiers. Military police has concluded its investigation, but has not made any rulings on it. The boy's father, Ahmed Awad, and the B'Tselem organization petitioned the Supreme Court to force the state attorney to rule on the case.
