Palestinian security officials on Sunday retracted claims that IDF forces were responsible for the killing of Hani Rabaiyah, 9 near Rafah last Wednesday morning and admitted that he had been shot by his brother.
Israeli security officials noted it was the first time that the Palestinians had issued such a statement admitting they were in the wrong.
At the time of the Palestinian claims the IDF Spokesman noted that there had been no IDF activity in the area where Rabiyah was shot and said the army would investigate the report.
"Avner? Was that you?"
"Nope. Wudn't me." |
As in such situations Palestinian security officials also conducted a probe and discovered that the boy's brother was responsible for the shooting and that the father had attempted to hide the truth hoping to receive funds from one of the terrorist organizations such as the Hamas who hand out payments to families whose relatives are killed by the IDF. |
