I don't think it is a revenge killing or anything of that nature.

My assertion was that more care should have been taken so that an innocent person isn't killed.

As it stands, a Palestinian teenager who committed no crime and did nothing wrong is dead.

That is a tragedy, and if there was negligence on the Israeli side, they ought to be held accountable. Hopefully, the investigation will be able to determine that and the appropriate action will be taken.

In any case, I feel sorry for the family of the youth who was killed.
