The video published on Monday, which shows the cold-blooded murder of a young Palestinian man by sniper fire in the Gaza Strip causes shock and outrage.

As shown in the video, the young man is initially carrying and injured fellow civilian and then walks with men and women from human rights organizations in the area, trying to help defenseless inhabitants.

The man walks over the rubble of his home, searching for family members and friends, after a bombardment that destroyed his neighbhorhood.

A sniper fires a warning shot near the civilians, forcing them to take cover. Without moving, the man in the green shirt stands up, calling for his loved ones, looking for them in the bombed out buildings.

Suddenly, the crack of a shot is heard and the man falls to the ground. The terrified onlookers try to understand what happened. Within seconds, as the wounded man lays there unable to move, another shot rings out from the sniper, hitting the young helpless man and ending his life.

The rescuers around him could do nothing but try to take cover and watch as the young man was bleeding helplessly and then executed from afar.

The bloody incident occurred on Sunday, while the video was shot by an activist of the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement.
