CCTV footage showing the moment 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir was abducted in Jerusalem before he was murdered, burnt and dumped in a forest.
The short video clip shot from a CCTV security camera, shows Mohammed being approached by two men and then forcibly pushed into a car, family members believe.
While images in the film are indistinct, the Abu Khdeir family say they provide vital evidence of his abduction before his body was found burned in a Jerusalem forest in what they believe was a revenge killing by Israelis in retribution for the abduction and murder of three Jewish teenagers, suspected to be the work of Palestinian militants.
The video – shot from a camera inside a shop across the street from where Mohammed is believed to have been sitting – shows what appears to be a light coloured car drive past a row of shops in the Shuafat neighbourhood.
Although his outline is hard to determine in the video, the teenager’s relatives say he is sitting on the steps outside one shop.
The car then reverses up the street and out of the frame before two men are seen approaching the area on foot where he is believed to have been sitting and appearing to start a conversation.
The vehicle then reappears and stops at the place where the two men are, before driving forward slightly. It then reverses again to the original spot.

A few moments later, a struggle appears to ensue – ending in the group quickly getting into the car, which then speeds off through a set of traffic lights.
The Abu Khdeir family shared the video – which is believed not to have been seen by police.
The video was first obtained by The Telegraph.
