Report: Israel suspends soldier after Palestinian teens killed

The report was published in Haaretz amid a military police probe into footage from two CCTV cameras that appeared to show the shooting of the two teens was unprovoked, taking place during a lull in the clashes.

The shooting took place during a day of protests on May 15 as Palestinians marked the "Nakba", or catastrophe, in which over 700,000 Palestinians were displaced or forced into exile during the creation of Israel.

Haaretz said the soldier had been spotted on CNN footage released last week, firing "what appeared to be a rubber bullet" at around the same time the first of the two teenagers was shot.

But it said there was no proof his shot was responsible for killing of Musaab Nuwarah.

"The IDF has found no evidence proving that this soldier's bullet caused Nuwarah's death," it said
