(CNN)Israeli soldiers shot a blindfolded, handcuffed Palestinian teenager who had been arrested on suspicion of taking part in disturbances as he tried to flee.
The shooting happened after a funeral in the Palestinian village of Tuqu', south of Bethlehem in the West Bank, last Thursday, according to witnesses and a member of the Tuqu' municipality. Photos and video from the scene from residents of Tuqu' who had been filming the funeral show 15-year-old Osama al-Badan, with his hands bound behind his back, trying to run away from at least four Israeli soldiers who are standing nearby.
Al-Badan was shot once in each leg with a pistol, his father, Ali, told CNN.
"He was detained by the soldiers for doing nothing," said Ali al-Badan. "They accused him of throwing stones. I am sure he didn't. He has nothing to hide and would have admit if he did throw a stone. But is that an excuse to shoot him?"
