Leila Molana-Allen:
And in the West Bank, Israeli security divisions are out in force. Yesterday, the IDF conducted an extensive raid on Nur Shams in the northern West Bank, including a rare airstrike, as part of a larger anti-terror operation this week, today in Nur Shams, the devastation left behind, roads entering the camp ripped to pieces by bulldozers and somber crowds flocking to the cemetery to bury the dead.
Residents of Nur Shams camp have turned out to bury a dozen young men killed in an Israeli raid last night. And Palestinian militants have turned out too, firing their guns and waving the flags of Hamas, Fatah and Islamic Jihad.
The IDF says the young men killed yesterday were terrorists.
Taha Mahamid's family says he was an innocent child. Taha had just turned 15. Last night, he was hiding with his brothers and sisters in their home as the Israel Defense Forces stormed through the camp. Quiet returned, and Taha went outside to check if they could come out. Video shows Taha was visibly unarmed and did not approach the soldiers.
The IDF shot him three times. As his sisters watched from the window, Taha dropped to the ground.
