Al Jazeera identifies 15-year-old boy shot dead by Israeli forces

Al Jazeera Arabic has recently aired footage showing a young Palestinian boy who was shot dead by Israeli forces in northern Gaza.

The footage was captured on 5 December, according to Al Jazeera, and the boy was identified as 15-year-old Mahmoud Hani al-Ajoori.

"What is this child's fault that he was shot," the father told the news channel, claiming that Israeli soldiers knew he was a child.

Ajoori's brother told Al Jazeera that he was shot in the head and neck.

"We call on the international community to look into this case, what was the reason behind his killing - a child aged 15 years old?"

The boy's mother said that the family had found him two days after he was shot, near the area of Fakhoora, which is in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.

"My son is innocent, what did he do for them to shoot him these two shots - he's 15 years old?" his mother said.
