The coldness of Israel and its soldiers is incomprehensible – shooting a Palestinian minor in the back, shooting at the neighbor who tried to help, threatening to shoot the ambulance driver, while the youth bled to death. This has become a common occurrence, with at least 52 Palestinian children killed in 2018.
This article, which appeared in Israeli daily Ha’aretz, was written by an outspoken Jewish Israeli journalist.

What goes through the head of soldiers, young
Israelis, after they shoot an unarmed Palestinian teenager in the back
with live ammunition, prevent him from getting medical treatment, move
him around, putting him on the ground and then picking him up again –
and chase away an ambulance at gunpoint? For 15 minutes, the Israel
Defense Forces soldiers carried the dying Mahmoud Nakhle, pulling him by
his hands and feet, it’s not clear why or where, before allowing him to
be evacuated. They had already shot him and wounded him badly. He was
dying. Why not let the Palestinian ambulance that arrived at the site
rush him to the hospital and possibly save his life? Nakhle died from a
bullet in his liver and loss of blood. He was two weeks after his 18th
birthday, the only son of parents who are descendants of refugees, and
he lived in the Jalazun refugee camp adjacent to Ramallah, in the West
Bank.
Nakhle was killed last Friday, December 14............https://israelpalestinenews.org/idf-shot-a-palestinian-teen-dragged-him-around-chased-ambulance-away/
