Hundreds, including international and Israeli activists, took part in the funeral procession for Izz ad-Din Tamimi, 21, shot and killed this morning in Nabi Saleh. The flags flying are the Palestinian flag and the flag of the Democratic Front, a Palestinian Marxist organization. twitter.com/mekomit/status…

There is no other word to describe what the video shows other than murder.

Samir was unarmed. He did not present any danger to the soldiers when he was shot. He was killed while running away.

The soldiers who killed Samir will walk free because Israel, except for very rare cases, does not prosecute soldiers who kill civilians.

Samir, wounded, gets caught in the fence, but somehow manages to escape and begins running away from the fence and the soldiers. They continue to shoot at him. One soldier throws a stun grenade.

The soldiers were waiting in ambush by the separation barrier. When Samir attempts to scale a tall barbed-wire fence, the soldiers open fire.

The soldiers see Samir and attempt to give chase, but fail to catch him. Remember, Samir is unarmed.

In the video, you can see Samir, 16, running between the layered fences of the separation barrier near the West Bank village of Budrus.

After the prosecution announced it was dropping the case against the two soldiers, Israeli media published the video of the killing. ynet.co.il/articles/0,734… twitter.com/972mag/status/…

Friends and family putting Ezzidine Tamimi to his final rest. Israeli forces are already by the entrance of the village. One relative tells me “three, three family members I lost. It’s getting too much.” Rushdie and Mustafa Tamimi were also killed by Israeli army in past few yrs pic.twitter.com/zCrTq9LRxF
