Footage has emerged of the killing of seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in the occupied West Bank. Video obtained by the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights shows the family’s car slowing down and stopping. The video has no sound and it is unclear when exactly the soldier opened fire at the vehicle.

The Israel Defense Forces said its troops had ‘perceived a vehicle accelerating toward them’ and that one of its soldiers had ‘responded with single shots toward the vehicle’. Video obtained by the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights, however, shows the family’s car slowing down and stopping. The video has no sound and it is unclear when exactly the soldier opened fire at the vehicle, but the clip appears to corroborate the account of Sam’s father, Fahed Abu Haikal
