Youth injured in Beita attack says friend killed in 'cold blood'
http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=750639"We had just finished our school exam in Islamic education at the school in Beita, where I study with Imam in the first year of secondary school. We went out to buy something things after school and were on our way home when we decided to go to a park in the southern part of Beita," he told Ma'an.
"We arrived to the edge of the park on foot, but we were surprised to see an Israeli soldier coming toward us from atop a hill. He shot at us four times, but he missed us."
"But then he fired again -- one single shot -- and hit Imam directly in the heart," Thiab told Ma'an.
"Imam fell to the ground. I tried to get near him but then he told me: 'Get away! I've been shot.'"
