New footage obtained by the BBC shows clearly that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) deliberately shot at fleeing civilians at close range in the Jenin market attack on June 21. (Story available online at news.bbc.co.uk)

Many of the major media outlets, including CNN, have characterized the attack as an honest “mistake” by the IDF, and almost all of them downplayed it. The new footage described in the BBC story clearly contradicts this rendering of events.

Please give CNN a call and ask them if they are going to show the BBC footage. Their number is (404) 827-2030. On the weekends, they don’t start receiving calls until 12:30 p.m.
