Photographer says witnessed Palestinian teen being shot

A photographer said Saturday a Palestinian teen who was killed by IDF fire was dozens of meters (yards) from the Gaza border fence when he was hit by a bullet.

 

Gaza health officials have identified Mohammed Ayyoub, either 15 or 14 years old, as one of four Palestinians killed Friday by Israeli troops firing from across the fence in the fourth round of weekly Hamas-led protests near the border.

 

Photographer Abed Alhakeem Abu Rish said he saw the teen standing about 150 meters (164 yards) from the fence. He says Ayyoub was about to take cover behind a low sand berm when he was shot and fell to the ground.

 

Abu Rish's photographs show the teen as he collapses head first and then lies motionless in the same spot.
