The death of Razan Najjar, a Palestinian medic shot by IDF fire in June, has been regarded as intentional, unquestionable reckless shooting, according to a New York Times investigation. According to the investigations, Najjar was killed by an Israeli sniper, leaving no question as to whether it was done purposefully, nor did she pose a threat to the forces or offer herself as human shield, as the IDF claimed. A video released by the IDF in June appears to show Razan Najjar throwing a smoke grenade into an open area and announcing that she is offering herself as a human shield.
