‘The neighbour procedure’ leads to death of 19-year-old

ISRAELI soldiers strapped a bulletproof vest on a Palestinian teenager and ordered him to approach a house where a wheelchair-bound Hamas militant was hiding, with instructions to bring out the man and anyone else inside.

As he approached the house in the West Bank village of Tubas, Nidal Daraghmeh, 19, was shot dead though it's not clear who pulled the trigger.

The troops then flattened the house with bulldozers, burying a Hamas leader, the only person inside.
