How Israel is disabling Palestinian teenagers
Survivors of Israeli live fire speak about Israel's 'kneecapping' practice of shooting youth in their lower limbs.

International law prohibits the use of live ammunition on civilians, except as a last resort during an imminent threat of life. However, Israeli soldiers freely fire live bullets at Palestinians during confrontations or military raids.
Both Palestinian and Israeli rights groups have noted that Israel's excessive use of force on Palestinians has caused scores of permanent and temporary disabilities in the occupied Palestinian territory.
