After Rachel Corrie and Bryan Avery, Israel turns up the heat on the eyewitnesses: "The activist was standing in between IDF troops and a group of Palestinian children when soldiers opened fire."

Israel Defense Forces troops shot a British peace activist working with the International Solidarity Movement on Friday, witnesses said.

Doctors said the Briton was brain dead.

The activist was standing in between IDF troops and a group of Palestinian children when soldiers opened fire, said Khalil Abdullah who works with the Palestinian-backed peace group.

"A group of ISM people were trying to set up a small protest tent alongside a road used by the army. The soldiers opened fire," said Abdullah, who witnessed the shooting.
