Israeli border policeman (convicted for causing death by negligence by firing live ammunition by mistake)
The Beitunia killings refers to the consecutive killings of two Palestinian teenagers, which took place on the occasion of the annual Nakba Day protests on May 15, 2014, near the Israeli Ofer Prison outside Beitunia in the occupied West Bank. Israel described the protest as a riot in which a crowd refused to disperse,[1] and initially denied responsibility, saying the cause of the deaths was unknown, the deaths were faked, that video clips of the killings either failed to capture the violence of the scene shortly before or might have been manipulated, that soldiers had been provoked and that only rubber bullets had been fired.[1][2]
21 year-old Ben Deri of Rishon LeZion, an Israel Border Police officer was arrested six months later and charged with shooting one of the two killed Palestinians, 17 year-old Nadim Nawarah (or Nadeem Nuwarah).[3][4] after forensic evidence showed one of the lethal bullets came from his gun.[5] Deri was convicted for causing death by negligence and sentenced to nine months in jail, after he pleaded guilty and admitted accidental use of live ammunition.[6]
