A funeral was held in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday for the latest unarmed Palestinian shot dead by Israeli troops. Twenty-five-year-old Mahmoud Titi was among a group of people fired on by Israeli forces during a raid near the city of Hebron. Titi’s cousin said he was killed while filming the raid.
Ali Titi: “He had a smartphone and was filming from about 100 meters away from the army jeeps. At a distance of 100 meters, a stone cannot reach; logically, it cannot reach if you’re that far away. A sniper soldier shot him, using only one bullet. And before Mahmoud died, they started targeting the shops. The shopkeepers had already closed the shops themselves, but the army was shooting.”
Titi was the sixth Palestinian killed by the Israeli occupation force in the West Bank this year.
