Israeli occupation forces shot directly at civilians during last month’s deadly raid on Nablus, report says

Israeli occupation forces raiding Nablus last month repeatedly fired at unarmed Palestinian civilians taking cover during clashes that broke out in the city, killing two and wounding three others, according to eyewitness accounts and a visual reconstruction of the events by The Washington Post.

According to the investigation, the Israeli occupation forces fired from inside an armored vehicle at least 14 times as they drove down the street and stopped at a short wall behind which unarmed Palestinians were huddled, continuing to fire even after the group would have been visible from the vehicle’s windows.

The investigation, which used 3D modeling software and visual evidence from the scene, was based on witness accounts, previously unpublished videos of the event and audio expert analysis of the gunfire, according to the Post.

Israeli occupation forces raided Nablus’s old city on the morning of February 22, killing 11 and wounding 102 others, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
