Amnesty Intl: Israel is 'deliberately killing' protesters

Rights group Amnesty International said on Sunday that Israel was guilty of 'deliberately killing' protesters amid a recent wave of violence.
Amnesty International told Al Jazeera on Sunday that some of the recorded incidents amounted to "extrajudicial killings".
The group also responded to an incident on Friday when Israeli soldiers shot dead a young Palestinian woman allegedly holding a knife, and when Palestinian teenager Fadi Alloun was shot and killed last week.
"There is no proof whatsoever that Israa was holding a knife. The same goes for Alloun. They did not appear to have posed enough threat to the soldiers to use deliberate lethal force [on them]," Amnesty's Farah told Al Jazeera.
