the israeli brigade commander conducting the initial investigation had concluded that mr kahla was not planning an attack. the palestinian authority’s foreign ministry strongly criticized the incident as a “heinous crime of execution.” qusai’s father had seen a driver on the other side of the road had a flat tyre and got out to help him. when he rejoined the line, other drivers honked their horns, prompting a soldier to throw a sound bomb at the car’s front windscreen. this led to an argument between qusai’s father and the soldier, which ended in qusai’s father being fatally shot.
