Fatal shootings stir rage in Palestine

Palestinians call for #Justice4NadeemandMuhammad after teens are shot dead by Israeli soldiers.

Video footage of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fatally shooting two Palestinian teens has generated anger throughout Palestine and the global online community. 

The teens were killed last Thursday during a protest on the 66th anniversary of the ‘Nakba’, or “Catastrophe”, marking the displacement of Palestinians during the 1948 war that led to the creation of Israel. Muhammad Abu Daher, 15, and Nadim Nowarra, 17, were part of a group of protesters throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers at a military prison outside Ramallah.
