When did "Muhammad al Durah" arrive in the hospital In one of Nahum Shahaf's early interviews, Doctor Tawil at Shiffa Hospital in Gaza City claimed they had received the boy in the morning, when Enderlin reported the shoot-out that killed Muhammad starting at 3:00 PM ("Quinze heures, tout vient de basculer..."). Schapira speaks with the doctor who not only remembers the boy coming in in the morning, but coming with an ambulance driver shot in the chest, and not with his father, when all accounts say the father and son were evacuated together.

Talal's sworn statement

Talal abu Rahmeh made a sworn statement to the PCHR two days later in which he claimed to have shot 27 minutes of Israeli shooting, and that the Israelis killed the boy "in cold blood." Rumors circulate that he has since withdrawn the statement, claiming duress at the time, but no official statement to that effect has been made public. When the France2 tapes were made public at the trial in Paris, it turned out Talal had only shot a minute of the al Durah sequence.
