She went to buy groceries near her home in Balata refugee camp in the West Bank. Now grainy CCTV footage has emerged showing the moment she was shot. Her family want the world to see it. Sky news has verified the video and analyzed it against our interviews with Halima\u2019s family in the street where the shooting took place. We located the market street where the CCTV video was filmed. In the footage, we can see Halima walking here. There are also three men walking down the street. Based on an analysis of their silhouettes, the figure in the middle appears to be holding a weapon and is likely to be a militant. The three men veer to the right, moving into this sunny area.<br \/>\nA few yards away, Halima stops to speak to another woman with a shopping trolley. A marked ambulance pulls into vision, separating the two women and drive slowly down the street. We can see a white van that appears to be in a convoy with the medical vehicle. Both vehicles stop. Seconds later, the passenger door of the white van opens and bank clouds of smoke can be seen, suggesting a gunshot is fired. Halima has fallen to the ground. The men sitting over to the right disperse to the right and to the left. During our visit to the site of the attack, we saw bullet holes in the building next to where Halima was standing. The woman she was speaking to, moments earlier ducks for cover in a doorway.<br \/>\nHalima fully collapses as she appears to be hit again. The men likely to be militants are not visible in the street when this happens. At the same time, figures who appear to be IDF personnel exit the ambulance in the foreground. The silhouette of the figure suggests they are Israeli military forces. Video analysis reveals that arms figures can also be seen, leaving the white van, not too far behind and aiming their weapons down the street. The IDF previously told Sky news they conducted counter-terrorism activity in Balata camp, the morning Halima was shot. We approached the IDF about the CCTV footage and the use of a medical vehicle to conduct this operation, in contravention of the Geneva Convention. This is what they said: The IDF is committed to and operates in accordance with international law. The mentioned incident is under review. The review will examine the use of the vehicle shown in the video, and the claims of harm to uninvolved individuals during the exchange of fire between the terrorists and our forces.<br \/>\nThe UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese, says these military raids in the West Bank are inherently illegal and found the CCTV footage shocking but not surprising. When I look at the footage, what emerges, prima facie, is that there were no precautions taken to spare civilian life. So, this was a murder in cold blood, and it could be a war crime, as an extrajudicial killing. Experts also say that the use of a medical vehicle for the operation may constitute a war crime. In light of this evidence, the IDF surprise raid on Balata camp may have broken fundamental rules of war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram A post shared by Daizy Gedeon (@daizygedeon) This is from @guardian piece last year \u2014 the numbers have yet to be updated, the correlation has&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,35,37,33,1],"tags":[],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-9923","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-daizy-gedeon","8":"category-israel-hamas-war","9":"category-israel-hamas-war-live-updates","10":"category-middle-east-news","11":"category-uncategorized"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9923"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=9923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
