On November 29 last year, the Israeli military executed what they described as "two high-ranking terrorists" during an assault in Jenin in the occupied West Bank. 

While they never identified the terrorists, CCTV footage later revealed live images of a small boy turning and starting to run before falling sharply to the ground — his body dragged from the road by a friend.
