Knife collapsed on the floor.
He'd been shot in the back of the head.
Israel said he may have been part of a group that was throwing stones and agitating, but pictures taken on local CCTV and on some phones seem to suggest that he was walking away from the scene and certainly did not appear to be throwing anything.
Dr Hassan Hamad was first on the scene as Naif collapsed to the floor, fatally injured.
We've again asked the IDF about claims, including from eyewitnesses, that he was not involved in any stone throwing.
That sense of impunity was also felt here, near Janine in the northern part of the West Bank, as mourners paid their respects to the family of Hussein Assasa, an 80-year-old patriarch who died of natural causes.
When the old man's sons buried him in the village cemetery, within an hour Israeli settlers descended on the grave, hacking at it with tools and trying to remove the body.
Under the gaze of Israeli soldiers and the heavily armed settlers, the brothers had to dig up the grave themselves, carrying the shrouded body of their late father down the hill to relative safety.
The IDF later said it condemns any attempts to attack in a manner that harms public order, the rule of law and the dignity of the living and the deceased.
Mohamed Assasa is the eldest brother.

They'd almost dug down and reached the body.

Hussein's remains have now been reinterred here in a cemetery in a neighbouring village.

The UN called this an appalling and emblematic example of the dehumanisation of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

One of them is the high-profile Jess Phillips.
