In the case of Atia, \u201cvideo footage of the incident shows police officers getting out of the vehicle and pushing a man who was selling food to students at the school entrance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One Border Police officer is then seen \u201cinserting his weapon between the bars of the gate at the entrance to the school and firing five shots at children in the schoolyard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He was in the yard, standing near the principal, when all of a sudden, they shot him in the hand<\/span><\/p>\n

the boy\u2019s father, Awani Atia, said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Police claimed that the incident began after a student hurled a stone at a passing police vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n

As described by Haaretz<\/em>, police activity in Issawiya has included daily neighbourhood raids, \u201cpatrolling, arrests and setting up checkpoints and laying ambushes\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
