On the second day of the Second Intifada, amid widespread rioting throughout the Palestinian territories. Jamal Al-Durrah and his 12-year-old son, Muhammad, were filmed by Talal Abu Rahma, a Palestinian cameraman freelancing for France 2, as they sought cover behind a concrete cylinder after being caught in crossfire between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian security forces. The footage, which lasts just over a minute, shows the pair holding onto each other, the boy crying and the father waving, then a burst of gunfire and dust, after which the boy is seen slumped across his father’s legs.
Muhammed Al-Durrah is 23 years old…in heaven… I am only one among a nation that will never forget.. will never forgive.
