The Israeli authorities closed on Thursday the investigation file by shooting the child Malek Issa, from Al-Issawiya in Jerusalem, last February, causing him to lose his eye.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that the Israeli police fired at the child Issa, without clashes or stones thrown before that, in contrast to the documentation published by the Israeli authorities at the time.

According to police instructions, it is forbidden to fire sponge bullets at children, and they should only be fired at the bottom of the adults' body.

"Targeting the upper body from 50 meters could lead to moderate and severe injury to the neck and head area that could lead to a very serious injury."

"On February 23, doctors removed Issa's eye," Issa's mother, Sawsan Issa, said at the time that her child Malik's eye had been removed, after several attempts to treat it, but with no result.

She stressed that the Israeli soldiers intentionally shot her child Malik and hit him directly in the eye while he was getting off the school bus in front of his house, confirming that there were no clashes in that area when he was hit.

Issa's father said in a video, published by the Wadi Hilweh Information Center earlier, that "Malik's injury was fatal. He escaped death, but lost his sight in the left eye. He was cured of his brain injury, but he will not see again in his left eye. Even if it is not removed, it is still bleeding internally."
