Soldiers let 14-year-old bleed for 45 minutes after shooting
Video footage shows 14 Israeli troops shooting Jad Jadallah in the occupied West Bank before preventing ambulances from reaching him. Witnesses say the unit waited 45 minutes without offering aid, although the IDF claims they provided initial treatment. One soldier was recorded placing a stone near the victim, which the family alleges was an attempt to frame him. The military later removed the body and has refused to return it.
