New footage appears to contradict the Israeli military’s account of the killing of seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in the occupied West Bank. The video shows the family’s car slowing near a military post before soldiers opened fire.
On Friday, the infant’s death sparked outrage. Israeli troops shot at the vehicle despite it having complied with an order to stop. Sam was killed in his mother’s arms. His mother, Daniyah Abu Haikal, and father, Fahed Abu Haikal, were both injured.
