New Israeli investigations have concluded that the IDF could not possibly have shot this boy.

However, this begs the question, if not the IDF, then who? One breathtaking, almost unpalatable conclusion is that the Palestinians shot him themselves and then stage-managed the whole incident for publicity purposes. This would seem incredible, except when you consider that the PLO is an autocratic organisation and that Yasser Arafat was an ally of that totally ruthless tyrant, Saddam Hussein: did the Palestinians exhibit a comparable level of amoral ruthlessness, even to the extent of murdering a Palestinian child for a propaganda purpose? Well, since theY don't balk too much at suicide bombings by adolescents, why not? That's child abuse, too. Anyway, read the full article by following the link.
