** FILE ** In this Sept. 30, 2000 file image from television, Jamal al-sutra signals his position while protecting his 12-year-old son Mohammed al-Dura, as they shelter behind a barrel from crossfire near Netzarim Jewish settlement in the southern Gaza Strip. More than a dozen years later, the death of a Palestinian boy allegedly shot by Israeli troops in Gaza continues to stir emotions on both sides of the conflict. A new Israeli report that tries to debunk the Palestinian narrative of the incident shows no signs of ending the saga, which for Palestinians has became a symbol of Israeli oppression and for Israel is a nasty smear campaign aimed at demonizing it.
