I'd always suspected this since the boy had decent cover to his front (i.e. trash can? and his father) but none between him and the Palestinian gunmen to his rear. Considering the sloppy firing discipline of the Palestinians (i.e. firing blindly around corners, firing random bursts into the air), the boy would probably have been better off putting that cover between him and his own people since the Israelis are more disciplined in their firing.

The IDF did their own belated investigation, based on bullet projectories and came to the conclusion that it was the Palies. They were so disturbed to think that they had killed a child... Worst of all is the considered possibility that the Palis SHOT HIM ON PURPOSE for the propaganda value.
