This is the harrowing moment a young Palestinian man was allegedly shot by an Israeli sniper in front of a camera crew helping him search for his family before being fatally shot again as he struggled to get up.
Muhammad Abdellah claimed he and other ISM volunteers made their way into Shijaiyah on Sunday after the area came under prolonged and heavy bombardment from Israel, which claims the neighbourhood is a major source for Hamas rocket fire against its civilians.
‘Israeli soldier sniper hit him in his hip, so he laid down. And I started to ask him ‘can you move?’ Because if he can move, maybe he can roll around and go to the other place, but he said ‘no, I cannot move, like my blood is going everywhere.”
Abdellah explained that he and the other ISM volunteers were unable to approach the young man, amid fears they would be targeted too.
Then, the Palestinian was hit a second time as he lay on the ground.
‘And that bullet, I guess it was in his heart or like or almost there, because he was like going and dying in front of our eyes,’ the activist said.
MailOnline has not been able to independently verify the exact circumstances of the shooting, or whether it was fatal.
The name or age of the man, who the ISM said died from his wounds, could not be confirmed either.
