A human rights group has released footage that it says shows Israeli security forces shooting dead two Palestinian teenagers.

The video released on Tuesday allegedly showed the teenagers, who posed no danger, being shot during a protest last week on Nakba day, when the Palestinians mark the loss of their homes in the 1948 war that resulted in the creation of the state of Israel and the flight of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

Defence for Children International (DCI) posted the two-minute video on YouTube, which it said was edited from six hours of surveillance footage from fixed security cameras at a Palestinian-owned business that overlooked the scene.

The group said the video showed that troops had committed "unlawful killings where neither child presented a direct and immediate threat to life at the time of their shooting"

Film of Palestinians’ killing likely doctored, top official says

“We all learned from the fabrication of Netzarim Junction,” he said, referencing the Muhammad al-Dura affair in September 2000, which he termed “Pallywood.” A report aired on the channel France 2 claiming to show the killing of Al-Dura, 10, by IDF soldiers was a rallying cry for the Second Intifada, but Israeli officials have disputed the report, some going so far as to say it was staged and that al-Dura was still alive.
