Killing of Palestinian medic, ‘reckless at best, and possibly a war crime’
The death of Razan Najjar, a Palestinian medic shot by IDF fire in June, has been regarded as intentional and unquestionably reckless shooting, which could possibly be regarded as a war crime, according to a New York Times investigation.
According to the investigation, Najjar was killed by an Israeli sniper, leaving no question as to whether it was done purposefully, nor did she pose a threat to the forces or offer herself as human shield, as the IDF claimed.
A video released by the IDF in June appears to show Razan Najjar throwing a smoke grenade into an open area and announcing that she is offering herself as a human shield, which the New York Times called “a tendentiously edited video.”
