CCTV ‘shows murdered Palestinian teenager being abducted’

CCTV footage which purports to show the moment a Palestinian teenager was kidnapped before being killed has been obtained by Sky News. The video allegedly shows men bundling Mohammed Abu Khadair into a car in East Jerusalem, shortly before his burned body was found in a forest. The footage emerged as tensions heightened in the region with Israel’s military sending troop reinforcements to its border with the Gaza Strip. The Khadair family say their 17-year-old was on his way to the local mosque to attend the morning prayer when he was taken.
