What is happening?
Jamal Aldura shouts towards the camera as he protects his 12 year-old son Mohammed Aldura, as they shelter from crossfire.
Moments later the boy slumped to the ground fatally hit, and his father, gravely wounded, lost consciousness.
Reversing itself, Maj. Gen. Yomtov Samia, commander of Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, said at a news conference in Tel Aviv Monday Nov. 27, 2000, that Palestinian gunmen, not Israeli soldiers, probably killed Mohammed Aldura.
