25 years since the killing of a Palestinian toddler in Gaza

On September 30, 2000, the world was confronted with one of the most painful and unforgettable sights.

On Saladin Road, in southern Gaza, Palestinian cameraman Talal Abu Rahma filmed a scene that would go down in history: father Jamal al-Durrah trying to shield his 12-year-old son, Muhammad, with his body as bullets rained down on them.

A few minutes later, the little boy passed away in his father's arms.

The footage broadcast by French television station France 2 went around the world, becoming a symbol of Palestinian pain, followed by a storm of debate and accusations.

For years, Israel denied responsibility, casting doubt on the authenticity of the video. It wasn't until 2013, after a long legal battle in France, that a court ruled in favor of France 2 and the cameraman, fining a French commentator who had accused them of "staging."

The cameraman's testimony

Today, 25 years later, Talal Abu Rahma remembers every second of that day. He describes moments of terror with hail of bullets.

"I didn't know what to do, whether to keep filming or run to save myself. But I was a journalist. That was my job," he recounts.

In the end, that footage became indisputable evidence of what happened.

But for Talal, the wounds never healed. Since 2017, he has been banned from returning to Gaza. He currently lives between Greece and Jordan with his family, continuing to work as a journalist, but always clinging to the memories of September 30, 2000.

A wound that won't heal

In the France 2 offices that day, when the footage of Muhammad al-Durrah first appeared, his colleagues immediately knew they had seen something that would go down in history. Today, 25 years later, the image of the little boy killed in his father's arms remains a symbol of a war that never stops and that takes innocent lives.

25 years after that bloody day, the world remembers Muhammad al-Durrah, the boy who became the face of Palestinian pain.
