Muhammad Abdellah claimed he and other ISM volunteers made their way into Shijaiyah on Sunday after the area came under prolonged and heavy bombardment from Israel, which claims the neighbourhood is a major source for Hamas rocket fire against its civilians.
This is the harrowing moment a young Palestinian man was allegedly shot by an Israeli sniper in front of a camera crew helping him search for his family before being fatally shot again as he struggled to get up.
The harrowing footage was captured by Muhammad Abdellah. an activist from the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement in the Shijaiyah neighbourhood of Gaza City. He claimed that the ISM team came across a young Palestinian man, who told them he was looking for his family, and that they followed him in an attempt to help him find his relatives.
As the group tried to make their way across a heavily damaged area, shots suddenly rang out.The first sent the group scrambling for cover, but did not hit anyone, but the second hits the man in the green t-shirt
Abdellah explained that he and the other ISM volunteers were unable to approach the young man, amid fears they would be targeted too.Then, the Palestinian was hit a second time as he lay on the ground
'And that bullet, I guess it was in his heart or like or almost there, because he was like going and dying in front of our eyes,' the activist said
