Internal information in the Yusef a-Shawamreh killing reveals:

Commanders
ordered live fire ambush of teens, though they posed no danger. The
result: a 14-year-old killed, no one held accountable

In March
2014, soldiers killed Yusef a-Shawamreh, 14, as he crossed the
Separation Barrier to pick edible plants for his family. He was shot
although he posed no danger, in broad daylight. In July 2014, the MAG
Corps declared the investigation closed with no charges. Examination of
the military file revealed a sloppy investigation and corroborated
B’Tselem’s suspicion of unlawful conduct in the incident. The MAG Corps
effectively sanctioned this conduct by accepting a flawed investigation
and releasing the commanders from accountability.
