Jerusalem, October 14 (RHC)-- A graphic video has emerged, showing a 13-year-old Palestinian boy left to die of injuries sustained from Israeli forces' gunfire while bystanders and soldiers watch him bleed to death.

The slain boy, identified as Ahmad Saleh Manasra, was shot near the illegal Israeli settlement of Pisgat Zeev in East Jerusalem on Monday after some Israeli settlers chased him while soldiers arrived and shot him.

While Manasra was bleeding heavily on the ground, some Israeli bystanders shouted a mixed of Arabic and Hebrew obscenities at him. Israeli soldiers and the passersby did not give the boy any first aid or comfort as he was dying from his wounds on the sidewalk with his lungs audibly filled with blood as he tried to speak and call for help.

An Israeli police member even kicked him back on the ground for a second time when the boy tried hard to raise his body and an onlooker was heard saying to police to "give him one shot in the head."

An ambulance showed up at last but medics did not appear to take any measures to help the bleeding boy. Manasra was finally taken to a nearby hospital after losing much blood, where he succumbed to his wounds.

The video has ignited shock even among Palestinians who are regularly exposed to the appalling atrocities inflicted on them by Israeli military and the extremist settlers.
