An international committee will arrive in the Occupied Palestinian Territories today in order to investigate the killing of the two young men, Nadim Nuwara, 17, and Muhammad Abu Thahr, 16, from Ramallah at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces.

A full autopsy is expected to take place on the body of Nuwara. Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq's General Director, Shawan Jabarin told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that two international doctors specialising in autopsies, one from Denmark and the other from the United States, will be joined by Palestinian doctors in order to perform the autopsy and investigate the murder of Nuwara. Al-Haq hopes to have an arms specialist present during the autopsy.

Investigating the murder of the "Nakba children", a name given to the two Palestinian children killed on May 15 during the commemoration of Nakba Day by the Palestinians, will not be an easy task, and is due to end on June 11.

Palestinians are not used to autopsies being performed on the corpses of martyrs but in order for the investigation to be carried out by international committees, this must occur. Siam Nuwara, Nadim's father, authorised his son's exhumation and autopsy, telling Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that "the investigation will not bring my son back, but his exhumation will expose the Israeli government and prevent them from killing more children."
