Trigger-happy soldiers

There has been outrage in occupied Palestine over the shooting and killing of a Palestinian boy, Ahmad Abdul-Mohsin, by the Israeli army in Hebron on 4 July. He was carrying a toy gun. The shooting mirrors the gunning down of 17 year old Rakan al-Nusairat near Jericho checkpoint in November last year – and earlier in 2006 when two 13 year old children were similarly shot.
