Muhammad Jamal al-Durrah (1988-2000) was a Palestinian who was killed during a clash between the IDF and Palestinian Security Forces in the Gaza Strip on September 30, 2000, in the early days of the Second Intifada. The cause of the death is disputed. Initially, it was reported that the boy was killed as a result of IDF gunfire, however some investigations have suggested that he might have been killed by Palestinian gunfire, and some people believe that the entire incident was staged.
The original reports stemmed from footage recorded by a Palestinian cameraman filming for the French public television network France 2.The footage shows al-Durrah and his father taking cover from crossfire behind a concrete cylinder, then apparently being hit. Charles Enderlin, the channel's bureau chief in Israel, who was not present during the incident; told viewers that the father and son had been the "target of fire coming from the Israeli position." The boy quickly became a martyr in the Arab world and a symbol of Palestinian grievances against Israel.
Three days later, the Israeli army chief of operations said an internal investigation showed that "the shots were apparently fired by Israeli soldiers"; he issued an apology, expressing sorrow and calling the incident "heartrending"; at the same time accusing the Palestinians of the "cynical use" of children in the conflict.Later on, many investigations were carried, one investigation called it "a very reasonable possibility" that al-Durrah had been hit by Palestinian bullets, and expressed "great doubt" over Israeli responsibility. Another investigation in 2002, said there was a "high probability" that the Israelis were not responsible. France 2's news editor, Arlette Chabot, said in 2005 that no one could say for certain who might have fired the shots, although Enderlin stands by his original report.
