Today's Video Focus: On June 1, an Israeli soldier shot into a crowd, killing a volunteer
medic named Rouzan al-Najjar. Israeli officials say soldiers only use
live fire as a last resort. Our investigation shows otherwise. We
analyzed over 1,000 photos and videos, froze the fatal moment in a 3-D
model of the protest, and interviewed more than 30 witnesses and I.D.F.
commanders to reveal how Rouzan was killed.
