On October 12, 2015, two Palestinian boys, 15-year-old Hassan Khalid Manasra and his cousin 13-year-old Ahmad Manasra, both from Beit Hanina stabbed two Israelis in the Israeli settlement in Pisgat Ze'ev in Jerusalem on the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Hassan was shot dead by a police officer while Ahmad was struck by a car. The attack attracted significant attention among both Israelis and Palestinians, because of the young age of the attackers. A clip from the aftermath of the attack showed Ahmad laying in a pool of blood while settlers shouted at him; the video spread on social media. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas erroneously claimed in a televised speech that Ahmad had been executed.
