Six-year-old loses eye from bullets Israel promised to phase out
Six-year-old Mousab Sarahnin lost an eye after Israeli soldiers fired rubber-coated steel bullets just after he stepped off a bus at the Fawwar refugee camp, near the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, on 27 September.

Sitting with his father, Mousab Sarahnin was shot in the eye by an Israeli soldier. (Dylan Collins)
