One of two Palestinian teenagers killed during a protest last month, was killed by live ammunition, the post-mortem has shown according to The Guardian.
The Israeli military had denied using live rounds on the day of the demonstration, after video footage of the boys’ deaths emerged, and the US called for a full investigation into the killings.
Human Rights Watch said in a report released this week that the deaths should be treated as a war crime.
"The wilful killing of civilians by Israeli security forces as part of the occupation is a war crime," said Sarah Leah Whitson, the group's Middle East and North Africa director.
"Israel has a responsibility to prosecute the forces who targeted these teens, and also those responsible for assigning the use of live ammunition to police a demonstration."
The killings caused international outrage as the CCTV footage appeared to show that neither of the boys posed a threat to the Israeli forces when they were shot.
