2016 Video of a Palestinian Daring the Israeli Occupation Forces

Abbs Winston, an X account that supports the Palestinian cause, posted a screenshot from the video on July 29, 2016, under the caption, "The little boy, with his homelands flag, defies IOF at the weekly march in Ni'lin village West of Ramallah today." 

In the video, a Palestinian father accuses Israeli soldiers of killing children and challenges them to open fire on his son, just as they are accustomed to shooting young children like him. Besides, the footage does not show the soldiers attempting to harm the father, refuting the claim of using the child as a human shield.
